Sunday, March 30th
Brought to you by Meredith and Kim
This morning we woke up and met the kids again and ate eggs, beans, and bread, plus mayonaise, which we thought was cheese dip. Of course everything starts and finishes with a dance party. So… we danced. A lot. =) We then led Capture the Flag on the blacktop (this is where the kids play soccer --they do not have a field) and painted ourselves with ´war paint´, showing which color team we were on. We made lanyards with the kids and taught them how to make them, and took pictures and created picture frames. They decorated them and got to take the pictures home with them! It was really fun. We ate an amazing meal for lunch, consisting of rice, beans, potato and egg salad, and a super good porkchop topped with the freshest salsa ever. SO GOOD!!! We hung out with everyone and really bonded with the kids. Tyler and a child named Dylan became attached at the hip; Elizabeth hung out with Scarlett, Jessica, Amir, and Pamela; Kim and a child named Kimberly really connected; and Meredith and Manuel played catch together. La Negra also taught us this really cool game on making a beat. It is hard to explain, but we got some good laughs and a great time out of it. We taught her how to play ´Tap, Tap, Double Tap´and ´Down By the River´. Soon after, the kids went to pack their things and we went back to our quarters to chill for about 45 minutes. We then headed back out to play clothespin tag! After that we made friendship bracelets and put on temporary tattoos (the kids put on so many!!!). The kids left about 4.00 pm, so around 2 hours ago. We were sad to see them go, but we could tell they had a great time with us. Since they left, some of us have been hiking, sleeping, trying to figure out Spanish computers... and really just enjoying spending time with each other. We are anticipating our next meal... of course it will be great!! MORE RICE AND FRIJOLES (beans)... WE CANNOT WAIT!!!!
