Orfanato, Again

Viernes – 6 de Julio.

Día 22. “Orfanato, Again”

                Today was all together pretty good- seeing the little kids at the orphange always makes for a good day though! (: This morning classes were as normal, but in the afternoon we had our oral speaking exams- my presentation was about my families. After presentations we headed to music class where we all struggled quite a bit to get the words, at least we got Feliz Navidad, in July… Today on our break we celebrated my host brother’s birthday, which is actually on Sunday, but we celebrated early at school.

     







       After school we headed out to the same orphanage we went to last week. Not the really big one, but the smaller one where we actually got to get to know the kids a bit. It was fun seeing their smiling faces when they realized we were back to visit- many of them remembered us by name. Instead of bringing a piñata this time we brought a cake, they sure enjoyed that. At some point this evening I became a drawing canvas as the kids drew pictures all over my legs in Sharpie, which will be interesting to try and get off before heading to the water park in the morning. I also found out that my hair is quite mesmerizing for the little ones, and one little girl spent a good amount of time getting my hair “just perfect”. Tonight will be a pretty relaxing night as we are about to watch a movie. We have a busy day ahead of us tomorrow; first heading to El Rollo, a water park, very early in the morning, and then heading to the discoteca tomorrow night!
