Day #2

We got up and had peanut butter and jelly for breakfast. (Food is an important detail to add right?) Then we were shown around the town. We walked down to a little store that also has an ATM where we exchanged money and such. Then we headed down to the beach. It seemed to be ten degrees cooler down by the water, and that view was amazing. We stayed there for a little while before heading home for lunch. It is about a 30 minute walk from the beach to the house. After lunch we had a meeting to talk about teaching stuff. 
Then our next adventure, going to la seira. It's a big store, kinda like our city market. We had to get a bus and taxi to fit all 21 of us. Did you know you can fit six people in a taxi? It is the size of my little car that should hold four people. When they take off the emergency break they jut put a little pillow on top of it. Funny, huh? Well anyways, we got all the things we needed at the store and then came home in time for dinner. (Because everything revolves around food) The rest of the evening we just got to know each other a little better. As a whole the group seems to be getting along rather well. I'm hoping it stays that way. 

One adventure of the day: running out of water. Apparently with 30 girls we go through a lot of water and we used all of it byuh lunchtime. We had to wait a few hours before the water truck came. We also had the power go out on us for a few hours.They say it is only on for 12 hours a day, but not one person knows when those 12 hours are going to be.
