Today was my last day at placement with the kids. They have a two week break now for winter. I will still be working at the Wawa Wasi next week, but I will be painting and helping in the kitchen instead. Since my kids are so young, they did not understand that my "Ciao" today meant I would not ever see them again. And of course it being Friday, kids will be kids. They were a bit obnoxious today - fighting more than usual, being onery, refusing to eat, screaming, etc. It was a long day.
However, now it is the weekend! Tonight, some of us are venturing to Miraflores to go bowling. Then, tomorrow we are going to a Peruvian dance celebration for their independence day. Our weekend plans are quickly filling up with all we want to see around Lima.
It is still very cold. In fact, yesterday was the coldest recorded day in Lima in 40 years! Granted, it is definitely not as cold as Illinois in even November sometimes, but I did go and buy some cozy socks today to wear around the house and at night.
I am changing rooms this weekend as well. The Australians are moving, so Carol and I are moving to what has been dubbed "the Australian Wing." It will open up a lot more room for all of us, although it's on the other side of the house from those I have befriended.
Well, that is it for now. I will keep trying to post the pictures of the children.
