check out how popular my friends are!
no, seriously. here is an article in the miami herald about two friends of mine (we are all in the same ag4/ee group here in peace corps el sal). i think it´s a great article. make sure you check out the slide shows!
as for me:
pintura de aceite (oil paint) + niños + el salvador sun = pure craziness!
but it´s been fun. we probably won´t finish the map until next week because of the ever-changing schedules of the teachers, but no hay problema. the kids LOVE it and in-between cleaning up paint spills and teaching the kids that they don´t need humongous globs of paint on their brushes, we´re in the process of creating a really beautiful map. and despite the fact that the teachers think that i should do it all (¨so the kids don´t ruin it¨ - were their exact words), i´ve managed to pretty much include everyone in the process.
in addition to this, it is blazing hot here right now. yes, even in the mountains i´m getting a sunburn every day. pero, it´s nice to be warm all day for a change.
not much more news to report.....i´ve changed my lunch routine. now if that´s not muy importante, hot-off-the-presses news, i don´t know what is! no, i´ve started eating up at niña domy´s house where it´s a lot more tranquilo and i don´t have to sit and listen to the teachers chambre (gossip) for an hour. sure, every day a mouse runs across the floor when i´m eating at niña domy´s, but it´s so much more peaceful chatting with her than with the teachers! plus, her lunch only costs 75 cents instead of the dollar i was paying niña flor. that leaves me a quarter left for more mango.
well, i´ll leave you on that bit of hot news......
adios for now!
