Pics!

Soo its been a little over 3 weeks now but it feels like its been much longer! in a good way, that is. today was slightly horrifying, my group went to another town and we thought we were going to be doing tech training (building gardens and stuff like that) andwhen we got there we found out that we were actually going to the school to meet our groups of children who we will be working with for the next coupla months.

After writing that, I just realized how not-terrifying it sounds, but these kids were like 16 years old and they are not easily impressed. So we had to talk with them and play some games with them on our own. Not easy. My group wasnt that interested in talking and I did a bad job explaining the games, but we got through it in the end. I did talk to some of them about Daft Punk, so that was cool!

Pik-cha time!
This is my room; its cool I have my own door to the street and my own key:





This is the view of my town, Santa Maria Cauque:



These are the kids that live in my family compound, they are all cousins. From left is Celeste Cha-ta (thats her nickname because her nose is so small its like she doesnt have one..its a joke but i dont understand it) Daniel, and Josue:



This is the central courtyard of my home, the big cement thing is the pila, which holds water for doing dishes and clothes:

This is the cathedral in Antigua; there are like 20 people carrying that huge thing:

Our hike to the river. we had to climb down the mountain using these roots:





thats Don Juan, David's host dad who takes us hiking and teaches us about farming and plants. He's way cool.

Thats all for now, more later!
