... And, she returned with a giant heart painted on her forehead!

Wednesday, October 20

We woke up to a cool day with a steady rain. The group all discusses their creative thoughts and ideas and plans for teaching — all agreed they were being challenged. Everyone prepares for the day by wearing their most comfortable shoes and rain gear. Cameron took face paints to Vargas Thomas — she and the teacher painted flowers and smiley faces on the hands of the 5th graders and she returned with a giant red heart painted on her forehead!

We regularly use the taxi system, which is efficient with courteous drivers. Kristina and Milt were definitely our most enthusiastic walkers.

John said he had a busy schedule today and it changed often. His adult night class, as well as everyone, expressed thanks for their English lessons and sadness at our departure on Saturday.

Kristina and Cameron went shopping in the evening. The embroidery here is artistic and unique. It rained all day and there was a great chill in the air. Many children in the schools and riding bikes wore coats and heavy sweaters for the first time.

We had dinner at the hotel— Milt, Bod, Brenda, Kristina and Cameron shared “school” stories and made travel plans. This adventure is winding down and so are we!
