Today marks two weeks in San Pedro! Sorry about the lack of pictures thus far, but the intermittent internet paired with an old laptop makes for frustrating picture uploading. This week, while school is out for Easter break, we have been working on our service project hours. I began accumulating hours at the Miss Isla Bonita pageant last Friday. It was the first time I had ever attended a pageant and it was a VERY interesting experience. Each contestant spent the weeks leading up to the pageant fundraising for the school. Each girl also had a booth set up, selling food and drinks to earn votes. I worked at a booth selling rice and beans, ceviche, sodas and beers. At the end of the night, the girl who raised the most money for the school was crowned Miss Isla Bonita. Very adorable and they raised a TON of money for the school.
This week we also took part in an Easter camp for children at the local library. I had no idea there were so many possibilities for Easter crafts using only construction paper and paper plates! We played games, read stories and concluded the camp with an Easter egg hunt on the beach. One of my favorite campers was a puppy named lucky who was recovering from getting hit by a car. AW!
Hey laur! Great to hear you are "going with the flow" ! Other cultures don't always think things are always that urgent. Something we have to get used to! It is kind of a good thing. Chillaxalot! You are bobbing on your board waiting for a wave...and when it comes you paddle like your life depends on it! Also I must say you sound very professional. Must be all that college! Have fun. Keep the blogs coming.
