First Day of School and the Day Before






So Sunday was a blast. One of the most fun days I think we've had here in Costa Rica. First we went to church with the Haun family. It was really a great service with a wonderful message about the Lord's Prayer. Afterward we had lunch and chilled at the classrooms with our teachers to finish up classrooms.

Around 7:00pm our ride came to pick us up to go to dinner. Tom had these 4 guys staying with him from Utah visiting and they picked us three up to go to dinner while Tom and Caralee got their kids to bed. Afterward we had a few drinks around their pool. Good times. We're getting excited for the pool party Caralee and Tom are having for Ashley's birthday next weekend!

Today was the first day of school! It was a little boring, just getting to know you stuff and policy procedure stuff. LAME! With only 7-8 kids in our class it's pretty easy to know everyone's names. At lunch I went home to eat lunch. It rocks having a 2 hour break! (I do only live 3 min. from my classroom). About halfway between my classroom and my apt. there was this LIVING tarantula. That's a check on the list! But, I got a lot of stuff done, but have yet to write a lesson plan!

Power went out after school, so Tony went out in search for the Monkies! He did find them at last, and we got some pictures, but not too good. Ashley and I took a nap to pass the time. When we awoke it was time to eat, but yet NO power. Jeff (the director) invited us to go eat with him, so of course we jumped on the free ride. It gets dark so early here, so you can't really walk to get dinner. When we got back, POWER WAS ON! I painted my toes and uploaded some photos.

Maybe tomorrow I'll get my spelling lessons written...doubt it if we're going to the beach with Willy and his dorm kids.
