internet and house

Within the past seven days, our internet was out for about five of them. Earlier this week after class one day we all decided to go to a place that has wireless internet so we could catch up with emails and such. So, the only place in the city that has wireless and is somewhat close by is a sports bar called Hemingways at a beach resort, so that is where we went! The connection wasn't working for about half the time we were there, so I was able to send out a total of one emails. We did however have an enjoyable time, and spent some time playing Nertz, which is always fun!

A few things have happened in the past couple of weeks with our staff here at the house. Cara, an intern who has been here since August, is now back in the states for a friend's wedding for a couple of weeks. Also, this past Wednesday Weston moved into a host family's house in Montellano to be able to work more on his Spanish. He is living with Dona Luz, an older woman who comes and cleans our house whenever we have groups here. But there still always seems to be things happening here at the house, our friend Ben is down nearly every weekend to help build something for the school or fix something at the house. Kate's boyfriend David flew down on Sunday to visit, and Sharla flies back down on Saturday. She has been in the states fundraising for these past three weeks.

Stay tuned for kid and school updates!
