I took your advice and wrote a text in my own words, something like, "Thanks for your advice about the lessons, it helped a lot! I decided to go ahead and do them. It was great to see you!" It seemed weird to thank him for dinner, since it seems weird to thank a "friend" for meeting me (shouldn't they want to do that?).
I emailed both the teachers, I have an appointment to see one of them on saturday. If I hear from the other I'll meet her on Sunday and then head back to my family in virginia...
