Today has been a day for rain. It has rained off and on through the week but not like today. I love the rain. Sundays are mainly filled with orientations regarding OO and camp. While the volunteers were finishing up their planning for camp, I went and saw the kiddos. The little girls were all cute in their Sunday dresses and David and Tito looked so spiffy in their dress shirts. I just love it. I stopped by to say hey to Marcos and Odalis at the mesita and then all of a sudden Marcos took off running for the covering underneath the stairs of the education center. I wondered for a few seconds on what he was doing and then it started to downpour. He laughed because by the time Odalis and I made it to the stairs we were pretty wet. To pass the time the boys decided to rap. It was the funiest thing I had seen in a while. Marcos even busted out some English raps. Pretty skilled. At one point Bryson came out of nowhere with Mineli, Checa and Lisy also looking for shelter. I think he realized it was too crowded and then tried to carry all of them to the Comodor. So funny. Once the rain let up Odalis and I played 3 one on one games. He won all of them. Marcos hurt his ankle yesterday so he watched and announced are game. To give you an idea of how that went..."And Sara has the ball and she shoots and she misses just like she always does." Thanks Coach. And my other favorite..."Wow she finally made a shot." After those games ended me Odalis and Whit were on a team against Steph, Leonel and Moncho. They won all three games. Leonel is a beast. I played with Jochi earlier and could maybe take him if I work harder. He won both games but it was close both times. It doesn't help that he has a good foot on me. I'm so glad he and I are friends again. That was a long three months of the silent treatment. The rest of the day was pretty chill. I just went to check on my babies that didn't go to church and I think I caused a disaster. I think Negra was trying to have them sit calmly and wait for dinner. I walked in and then jumped all over me. I told Negra sorry and made a quick exit. She laughed. She and Gio are trying to teach me new words in Spanish. I couldn't remember rainbow and that one was just last night. Oh well...maybe one day.
To catch up from Friday...after lunch we went for icecream, checked out the Cuban museum, got a tour of this shipwreck salvage project which was pretty cool and then finally to the beach. The waves were so crazy. Carlos, who we had met one other time at the beach, was there and joined us for body surfing. We had a really good time. After the beach we headed back and got ready for PIZZA night. I love going to the pizzeria. It's so fun to get to go out at night.
Saturday was pretty low key. Usually a day of chores and catching up on rest. I spent the morning out with the kids and catching up with Eliezer. I'm so glad he's decided to stay long term. It's going to be fun having him around. Junior and baby Nicole came and sat with us while Luz Maria and Goanni did my hair. It was just an all around good morning. In the afternoon Bryson took us to the beach with the kids in the back of the truck (my favorite thing here). They unfortunately remembered the game I played with them last week that involved swimming under water with them on my back. Very tiring but so fun. Yasmin and I played tag for a while too. She's absolutely crazy in the water. She and Indiana teamed up on me for a while too. We have been in an on going battle since Noche Especial. I'm always tickling them and they tackled me at that sleepover and tickled me until I couldn't breathe. Such a fun night. I got them back in the end and now they are always tag teaming me especially at the beach. Domingo and I did handstands for a little while until Jose Luis brought me Junior so we could teach him to swim again. Not anywhere near as successful as least week but it's progress. We got back a little before dinner time and so after showering we went back over and played random games on the basketball court. Carlos from the beach showed up and we played one on one for a little while. He kept trying to teach me some weird game and I had no idea what he was talking about. I thought I got what he said but then he kept yelling no at me so no clue what that was about. We still had fun. I played moster with the twins and Lisy for a little bit before separation time and then said goodnight to the little monkeys. The weekend was pretty good overall as usual.
This week we are going to Kilometer 13 and a Batey for camp. I love the Bateyes. This week will be great.
