Paul still isn’t feeling great. But he wanted to get up and walk around a little. We slowly walked to town. He had some yogurt to go with his Siprio which are the drugs for a bad gut. I have no idea what it is. We will see if those work on him like they worked for me. We then slowly walked up to the laudry mat to hopefully get our clothes. They still had no water, so no pjs for Cali tonight.
The other English school has been shut down for three days, so far, because of a Hepatitus A, mini-epidemic. They are closing to sanitize the school, whatever that means. I think that means they are trying to cut down on opportunities for it to spread it. I’m glad my girls have all their shots for the three Heps.
Girls had trapeze. After that Madi went home and Kier and I got a coffee together. We talked for over two hours then slowly walked home. She had a lot of things on her mind. Being here gives us the time to sit and talk–something that doesn’t always happen at home because I’m the hub to everyone’s busy schedule. I’d like to keep more time open for conversation when we get home. We’ll see if there is some way to implement that.
Cali’s frog blog: Today I had lots and lots of fun. First I start by reminding you how I love my uncle for buying me a pink beaded lizard. Now, back to the news. Today we had more exams in school. I had to do them all by myself except that the teacher explained things to me a little. We did those all day long. I had big problems in my lunch today. My pineapple leaked all over my lunch and my bag and my drink was smelling yucky. Those are two very big problems that need to be fixed. In computer classes we learned about Windows XP. We learned that Windows XP is sort of a name of a computer place that is really popular. I don’t know exactly how to describe it. Next class we will learn more about that. I understand a bit, but they explain it all in Spanish so I can’t really explain it to you right now. Next we had English. We learned the song, “1, 2, I love you, 3, 4, let’s count some more,” you get the idea. After that class I went to the family’s house. We started making tortillas as soon as I got there. I went on the swing while they were setting up for that. Then we got jocotes, which are little green balls. You can eat them with a little bit of salt. We got them out of the tree. Then we went on their roof to pick them. I made a tortilla in the shape of a hand, but it lost fingers. Now it only has one finger, but it’s the thumb, so you don’t have to worry about it holding up the wrong finger. I learned all about that on my bus back home in Canada. The tortilla hand is now saying thumbs up, oh yeah, rock and roll!! Then we made tostadas which are tortillas that are are toasted (fried) with beans on them. I love those very much. I was running around in bare feet, but mom said I can’t do that again because I could be stepping in rabbit, dog, and chicken poo all at the same time. But I like running around in my bare feet like all the other kids. Then I came home, ate my tortillas with cheese and turkey. I have a pimple on my arm just like a teenager. I also have two scratches that my mom put Polysporin on. I got one scratch from falling on the roof of the car we were playing on. I gave my daddy lots of hugs and we all lived happily ever after. That’s how my day went today. P.S. I love you all very much.
