We are done with our lessons in Lufkin. At least we are able to have our lessons closer to where we are staying saving us a 30 minute drive everyday. We crossed an intersection with a talking traffic light. That was pretty cool. You press the button (once you can find it) and it tells you to "wait"..."wait"..."wait" every 10 seconds or so. Then depending on the street you are crossing there is a loud repeating beeping or a high pitched screeching sound meaning CROSS NOW! While you are crossing the light starts counting down from 10 telling you how much time you have to finish crossing the street. Very neat. If you veer one direction or the other instead of crossing straight ahead you can correct yourself by turning toward the sound of the crossing signal. Again, very neat! All signals in the country should be like that.
I haven't complained about the heat in awhile, but it is still HOT here. A fellow student told me yesterday if she stands out in the sun any longer she is afraid that she will turn in to a piece of charcoal! I told her if that happens I will bring some marshmallows and a stick so I can toast them.
