we took the kids to the pool today.i was sure someone was going to drown because 80 kids (not all could swim but all speaking spanish) in a pool with only 6 native speaker volunteers seems like absolute chaos. they all lived though and had tons of fun. i didnt bring my camera so use your imagination and picture a bunch of hyper colombian children excited to be out of their neighborhood climbing all over 20 volunteers. there were a couple moms there too, and another group of older kids not associated with the foundation getting swimming lessons. instead of swimming lessons it was pretty much just a bunch of 15 years old making out in the pool haha.
and since everyone loveeeees pictures here's a few i dont think i've posted. if they're repeats, forgive me, i'm normally delirious and exhausted by the time i get around to updating.
we got aguardiente on cinco de mayo. i was told it was like colombian tequila so i got pretty psyched, but what the person meant how tequila is what mexico is known for aguardiente is what colombia is known for. it had kind of minty-licorice-jager taste to it. it was good, but i'll take tequila any day.
when we got a tour of the rafel nunez community last tuesday we saw the house of this one woman who hase benefited from the granitos gardening program. the foundation helps them get gardens started so they can sell produce to hotels and feed their families
i love american products in other countries. and because of that love i decided to do a little throwback...
