Hello friends, family, and stalkers!


Everybody hear is alive and well! We felt a little tremor from the earthquake but it was nothing serious. To Elliots mom, he says that you care to much and that he is alive and kickin'.

We spent the weekend in Suchitoto, a small tourist town 3 hours from Las Marias. We were all extremely excited to have running water and a flushing toilet! The downside was that the place was pretty disgusting LOL The toilet in my room was practically in the shower! We all desided that we prefer our bucket baths much better. :)

That Friday we had dinner at an Argentinean resturant were we had wine and every kind of meat you could emagine! Later that night we had a big party at our hotel. There were two of my personal favorites, a bar and band!lol We all had a really good time singing and dancing.

Saturday, we ate breakfast and piled into the back of a pickup truck to drop off computers to a small school about 45 minutes away. The residents of the community and school were very happy to see us and their awsome new computers. The community had an amazing welcoming ceremony for us. the little children sang a song, preformed a skit, and danced. It was all very cute and sweet. Im sure all of us will have pictures to show when we get back.

Later that evening we did some shopping in the the square and hung out at this really great cafe that had fabulous coffee. We also went to another much nicer hotel in the square( lol )to hear a blues band, and they were spectacular. Professor Puga joined the band in a few songs playing his harmonica. We also found another bar in town were we could all watch the Colts game! It was a good time. After the game and the blues band some went back to the hotel to sleep or just chill in the hammocks and others went to a Discotech dance party. All who went to the dance party said that they had a fabolous time.

when we returned to Las Marias Sunday evening, there was a welcome sign and baloons. The youth had organized a little welcoming party were we all interact and played really fun games.
We had a game of musical chairs and if you lost you had to sing or dance in front of everybody!
We also played a game were we had to partner up with a kid from town and play catch with a water baloon. Each time yyou threw the baloon you had to take a step back. By they ebd of the night most of us were soaking wet!

To conclude, we are all very happy to be back at Las Marias and are all alive and well.

It's been real,

Zindzi :)
