This morning the crew was a little slow waking up...Katie, Qadeer, Matt & I all woke up sick. Erin wasn't feeling too good by the end of the night either. We all managed to pull through the day though and God-willing everyone will be healthy by morning.
Kayaking was the main event of the day and it was awesome. We went out to Monkey Island and saw 2 spider monkeys and a few white faced monkeys at the second island. It was awesome, even though I thought one of the monkeys was going to jump on Erica at one point. I think the only damage done was Jack's sunburnt feet (put some aloe on that jack ;)) The view from the lake was gorgeous with the volcanos in the background. I would post some pictures but Katie seems to have accidentally locked her sick, sleeping self in the room along with the key and cameras :p so maybe tomorrow we'll be able to get some pictures up for you guys. Oh that reminds me, one of the volcanos has been...exploding? bubbling. something like that, its making loud rumbling noises and spitting out ash and such. Kind of scary considering if it explodes and lava goes everywhere.... but i'm sure that won't happen, the natives have assured us.
We had some down time this afternoon to recover since most of us are sick. Dee and I ended up swimming off the dock while Qadeer and Erica studied Spanish on the dock. There were 4 Nicaraguan boys fishing off the dock who joined us in swimming. Dee was teaching them 'trucos' like canonballs and pencils. It was so cool. They spoke no English so we were trying our best to speak to them in their language. Qadeer and Erica were always there with the dictionary when we didn't remember a word so our teamwork was perfecto ;)
Games and meetings tonight were fantastic, props to Erica for putting together the vocab game!! Tomorrow is our first day of the sink building project - we're all excited. We're also planning on doing a scavenger hunt and looking forward to our first day with the bilingual classes. If the rest of the kids are as awesome as the kids we met today were tomorrow should be a blast.
That's it for tonight, tune in to Qadeer tomorrow =]
