Our last day at school was successful we reviewed material and played games during class. After school from 5-7 was a read-a-thon. For the read-a-thon children who decided to read dressed up as the main character in their book. Kayla, Ms. Neale and Aaron read as well. The rest of us went from room to room listening to stories and we gave out bookmarks to the children who read. It was a good experience to see not only the children but their parents get involved.
Saturday, we returned to Oaxaca City and Casa Hogar (the orphanage). We went to a zoo and had a picnic there with the children. It was nice to see the children again and see how excited they were to visit the zoo. After we had the day to ourselves.
Today, we cleared our schedule and were able to wake up late. We visited the Mitla ruins, where our tour guide showed us around. Near the ruins was a market where we spent our time shopping and buying scarves to sell for proceeds next year. We went to lunch at a restaurant where we were served stone soup, a soup that was cooked with a red-hot rock right in the bowl. Once again we had the rest of the day to ourselves and visited the Zócolo and market. We just got back from going to the movies right down the road we saw The Proposal and mostly we all enjoyed it (minus Kevin…but he was a good sport).
Goodnight Everyone!
Ps. Two more days!

Awesome blog and pictures! I am glad you all had a day of rest. I'm sure all will want to maintain your healthy schedule of work and sleep, when you get home.
I was hoping to see the pictures of Mrs.Garcia "clubing". Maybe later?
Safe travels, see you soon!
Stone soup?!?!?! That's my favorite story! As a matter of fact, I just heard it told on the tv show little house on the prarie yesterday. What a coincidence :) How was it? Amazing I imagine.
