Today was a lot like yesterday, in that we started out our day at Spanish school, had lunch, then went to the orphanage. More kids had the chickenpox than yesterday, but it surprised me to see that none of them were scratching themselves. Almost everyone received homework to do for manana, which is not something anyone here wants. Hopefully our parents are not wishing homework on us (warning). Just kidding we know you would never wish that. The restaurant we ate at today was decorated nicely, and the food was good too. Walking to the restaurant was a bit of a challenge because their power lines are underground and they were being serviced, so one of the main streets we had to walk on was ripped up.
Though once we got to the orphanage things were the same. The kids loved LOVED having us there, and we did chores and played with them. Today we taught them how to make alligators with their hands and finger paint. Many of the kids just turned the white paper into a light green with swirls, but everyone enjoyed themselves. The director the museum told us her story of how she started the orphanage. Personally, didn't understand most/any of the amazing story, but enjoyed listening anyway. We ended the day with teaching the kids another song, this one in english. We took the bus home and enjoyed a lovely home-cooked meal.
Hasta,
Jasmine
