I wish I spoke Spanish...

This is a funny story now, but it wasn´t very funny on Friday when it happened. So everyday I walk the kids to and from school, I only have three that go to the school I walk to. On Friday I went to go pick the kids up and I couldn´t find Marco Chico anywhere, his classroom was shutdown his teacher wasnt there, so I was kinda freaking out. I made Lolis and Adrian run as fast as we could the whole way back to the orphanage. In the end they figured he must have had a field trip but we didn´t know what time to pick him up. The school phoned at like 1:30 and said that Marco had been waiting for half an hour for someone to pick him up. The other moms must´ve know what time to pick up the kids after their field trip but I must´ve totally missed the teacher telling us. So I make my way back to the school where Marco is the only one left along with the principal. So I go to the principal´s office and she´s waving at me frantically and saying something in Spanish so I thought she was getting mad at me for being late. Turns out she was only trying to tell me that I was standing in wet paint. Now I have a lovely shade of pink on the bottom of my flip flops. :) The rest of the weekend was really good. Saturday night Jessy (my room mate and a mexican volunteer) and Olga (one of the girls that lives at the orphanage she´s the same age as me though) went downtown shopping for the night. That was really fun and Jessy pointed out some stores that had some cool jewlery and stuff. So I´ll have to go back there. I made one purchase, a tanktop that I´ve been eyeing for a couple days. And that took the last of my money I brought here to last my whole trip. Oops :) So I had to make a trip to the ATM today and take out more, and the ATMs are in English too! Then yesterday church was really busy because there´s a family from BC and a team from Ohio working at the worksite. Which meant that the church service was in English which was a nice change from last week :) The team took the kids to the park and I went for a little while and then went for a walk on my own to take advantage of the peace and quiet. Last night Aaron and I took the kids downtown for icecream and to walk around. That was pretty neat, I got to see some of town that I hadnt seen yet. We walked for a loooong time though my legs were a bit sore this morning :)
