Bailamos

¡Buenas Noches!
Today we had more painting to do...everyone did their fair share today!! We went to a clinic in La Guacima to paint the waiting "room" and the outside. There was also some organizing that needed to be done. We put together educational packets for the young pregnant ladies, and we packaged up some gauze to be sterilized. It was a hot day, but we did not spend as much time painting as we did yesterday-probably because we did not paint as much of the floor as we did yesterday!
This afternoon the kids had a dance class. They learned the basic steps of the Salsa. Lindsey took lots of pictures, and I am looking into getting the videos uploaded on youtube. I have uploaded one of them from the orphanage. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdm2vN96jgI

Unfortunately I wasn't able to go to the dance lesson as I am feeling a little bit ill. Hopefully it subsides before our 2.5 hour trek to the rain forest. I bought some extra dramamine for those who get motion sick easily. We were told to wear closed toe shoes because of the snakes and a change of clothes in case it pours on us. Our job is to plant some trees-should be fun. We'll be back later than usual tomorrow afternoon-just in time for dinner. I don't think the girls and boys will be working much on their tans tomorrow. That will have to wait for the beach on Saturday. I have heard the kids say that the days go by so slow here-but the week is going by fast! They are having a blast, and I think you will have to book your next vacation to Costa Rica so the kids can show you around. I think Tyler is even convinced to take Spanish next year...he thinks it would be "Sick" to be able to speak fluently. :-) That in itself makes the trip worth it.

Hasta Mañana,
Sarah
