This morning at breakfast one of the group, Magaly, treated us to a traditional chocolate drink. It is made with cereal and is served with bread and cheese, both of which are dipped into the chocolate. It was interesting!
We stayed at the hotel this morning to work on costumes for a play we will be performing and we have been busy making crowns for the children to where for the circus on ice. This is so we can identify their groups. Only ten of us have groups and I have been made the official photographer/videographer. I was pleased with that as the alternative was taking children to the toilet!
We only have two days left to work with the children and tomorrow will be our busiest day yet. It's another early start to get to Manuel C. Figueroa school where we will be doing a normal lesson, a quick lunch and then it is over to Holanda school where we will be doing our first performance of Snow White.
Most days we pass communal washing areas where the women wash their clothes and each time I try to take a photograph it never turns out. So today I asked Ivan, our driver, if he would stop and let me get my photograph, see above. When we teach at the home of one of the Holanda children I noticed that no pegs were used to hang the washing up. Instead the washing line is doubled and twisted and the clothes are poked through the holes. In the countryside the washing can often be seen draped over stones on the ground.
