Day 2: Woke up before 6 am to catch the early bus back to my site. Hauled 10 lbs of pinto beans y mas that she brought me! Left our bags on the bus while we went to buy fabric for new dresses to be made and the bus left with our stuff! We couldn't get them until the bus passed by 2 hours later. Luckily my neighbors were home and I was able to get in the house. Then, we went to the school where we made jewelry with my small business class and I talked to during the school parent assembly. Then, we went to the chicken farm where I buy eggs. Then, pupusas which Sarah LOVED. Early bed time. Only got through half of Star Wars.
Day 3: Sarah slept in until 9:30. Then we went to visit a family who killed two chickens in celebration of us visiting them. We went to the river with the kids then rushed back to site to catch the cow truck which took us to our soccer game with my team. Sarah scored the first goal and I had an assist in our 5-0 game. The first half was the worst imaginable dried mud field and the second half was pouring rain that made the mud feel like bricks on your feet. The 15 year old referee liked watching us play so much he let the second half go on for about 1 hour and 15 minutes until Sarah got cleeted so bad we had to carry her off the field.
Day 4: Woke up to Addie's french toast and we lucked out and caught a ride into town to catch a pick-up which took us to a moto-taxi that took us to the place where we also lucked out and caught a pick-up with people who drove us all the way to the waterfalls we wanted to see. They had never seen them and were planning on going to the cemetery that day to visit his mother until we came along with a better plan for the day. It worked out AMAZING and saved us about 3 hours in a round-trip hike. We swam in an amazing waterfall and drank its amazingly crisp water. Then, it started pouring so we suffered a very very cold ride in the back of the truck. All of our dry clothes then became wet. We ate lunch then froze in another pick up back to town where we got a bus home and cooked dinner for ourselves.
So far so great!!!
