Today was a bit different from the previous two days. We started out the same with the little kids recess and our English lessons. Today we also added colored flashcards of some animals to prepare for the zoo. It was apparent that the kids were learning. While we were doing this Geige and Lucy were designing two murals to paint on the side of the school and the back wall of their campus. Lucy’s design was a map of the world and Geige’s was the numbers 1-10 with pictures. After lunch, some of us continued to paint the white trim and touch up the blue, while Lucy, Emily, Rose, April, and Caroline worked on the world and Geige, Rachel, Liam along with a few others when they took breaks from the building. The final product was colorful and educational. After lunch Max, Donald, and Ms. Del Favero went to convince a few of the parents to allow their children to go on our field trip to the zoo. There was also another group, Christin, Oliver and Roberto that made sandwiches in the sweaty, hot kitchen for our field trip. Then the rest of the group went back to the hostel and we all went to dinner. After dinner we went to the ice cream shop that we visit regularly. They have banana splits for the equivalent of $1.50 and ice cream for $1. We wandered around a bit in town before we had to be back in the hostel for curfew.
