THE STORY

It's Monday, December fifteenth. Sarah and Camila are back in Merida from Bacalar, the streets are full of lights, and Tomas is putting up a little Christmas tree in his mother's courtyard. Sarah has made up her mind about Christmas, and she has an idea. That evening she calls her friend Valeria in Guadalajara, whose family is waiting for Sarah in Oaxaca in January. Two days later, Valeria calls back. This is the conversation you'll be able to say by the end of the lesson.
