Saturday:
Spanish Level: Today I practiced IM SCARED in Spanish. YO TENGO MIEDO.
This morning Kelly and I took a trip with the maintenance man from school, Mauricio. We went to a waterfall near his house. Well… it wasn’t really “near” but close enough. We took a 30 minute bus ride to his house and walked from there. We went down a dirt road, across a river, up a mountain, through a mud field and then down a steep hill to the waterfall. While we were walking down the dirt road Mauricio pointed out a lot of things growing, chocolate (coco), oranges, bananas, limes, a lot of flowers, some spice similar to cinnamon, and some other fruits I don’t remember now but I thought you could literally walk out here and pick your lunch off a tree and eat it. It was pretty amazing I thought. All was fine and good till we got to the part where we had to walk down the steep mountain to the waterfall. This was when I got really scared and was like: “No way I’m not walking down that”. Mauricio helped me down the mountain and the waterfall was worth it. A nice cold pool we could swim in and practically all to ourselves. It was a good trip overall. After we got back I told Mauricio he was now my adopted brother because my brothers are the ones who help me out when I get scared of falling down.
On the way back a man stopped and gave us a ride up the dirt road back to Mauricio’s house where we had lunch. Mauricio’s house is very small. He has a living room a bedroom and a kitchen. The bathroom/laundry area has a roof and a dirt floor. He has two kids, and they were watching Barney in Spanish (I know what I want for Christmas). I learned all about the alphabet and my colors in Spanish while we were there. Then we had to run to the bus. It’s such a different life. If we had missed the bus we would have had to wait 4 hours for the next one.
I was glad to be home. We went to Church and out to dinner after, we took Wilbert some dinner too as he had to work.
