There are some bits of news to post. The first is melancholy. Michelle, the other young woman volunteer had to return home for personal/family reasons although she had been planning on staying the year with me. I miss her! Here is a picture of Michelle and I after Mass yesterday, before she left. I'm looking forward to your visit in December, Michelle!
The kids here in Banica and in the two campos I travel to are starting to get to know me better, and I them...so it's getting easier to both discipline and motivate them. The campo kids are MUCH quieter than the Banica students. I am always trying to discipline my classes at the Banica colegio, and trying to get my campo classes to talk and answer questions so can find out what they know! I will try to upload a picture of one of the schools I teach at out in the campos and also of some of the sights here. Right now, internet is slow, so I can't.
Lastly, I tried fresh sugar cane! It's brown and kind of looks like bamboo. They remove the brown shell layer with a machete, then you bite off the cane, chew and suck out the sugar, and spit out the rest. A lot of fun!!
