Today Saturday – I went thru it all again withDiego. Big difference class was in – and this meant visiting each class for songs etc. Diego’s classmates had decorated the room up with ballons and another big welcome to Mr Robert poster. Very touching. Lots of photos because every class wanted there photos with me and at the end when it was time to go – the whole project piled out on to the road for a group photo – then another line of hugs all around. Oh I forgot to mention that Rosalinda was in class that day so I got photos of both Children together – very special two days –
Yes you guessed it into the taxi to go to Diegos home – this time 1 block from the sea – a tsunmi would wipe out their home. This place only had two bedrooms – Diego and his two older brothers all share a room (again only two beds for three.
Lunch again this time at the famous surf beach – (I had had pizzas for two days and I needed fish – even if it was raw.
Shopping again at another mall. Diego as you might guess is mad on soccer – so first stop was for a ball. Thank goodness my host was able to talk him into a Sol 69 ball and not the Sol 200 + he wanted. Next came shoes etc. We bought food – rice and sugar etc to help the Mum out. and a new electric drill for the dad. During this visit we had to go up to the second floor on an escalater and the Mum stopped and would not get onto it. Turnes out – she had never been on one – so i took her hand and helped her. First time for every thing.
What a day = both days have been so much the same but at the same time so different. i have enjoyed both and the children are all great.
Tomorrow I am meeting up with Betsy – I meet with Betsy last time I was here in 2008 and she is now 23 and I am told very excited to meet me again.
Well it is time for me to hit the hay – its still 26C and 61% humidty and its 8.00 pm
