2-26

I’m still not sick! Hooray! Haha. I was expecting my body to react to something but I’ve been doing the great the entire time I’ve been here. The most sickness that I’ve had thus far is probably from the turbulence on the plane ride here. I say this now and watch I’ll wind up getting sick tomorrow or something, heh. But I really feel great and I do like most of the food that is severed here. There are some things that I would rather not eat but it’s cool, I eat it anyway. I have had a few hamburgers here and they were both really great! It’s seems that every one here wants to eat hamburgers from America but I really don’t see why. The one’s here are way better in my opinion. I still am on this “Super Loco Burger” that Angelle told me about. Everyone I ask don’t know where you can get it.

I was able to go with Jessica and (I feel so bad that I can’t remember here name. it’s a hard name to remember) to her Dance practice. It was fun to see. I did feel a bit odd though, 1 being the only guy there and 2 knowing no Spanish. It was cool to see they were doing all kinds of cool Jazz dances. And I also meet one of there friends that spoke perfect English. She said that she lived in LA, California for 5 years and goes back every summer. So that was cool.

Art class was fun today. I had to come up with something on the spot so I asked 3 of the kids for there shoes and then assembled them in to a somewhat interesting assortment. I haven’t see the finished results yet because I left early to go to watch the dance thing. But I’m really excited to see it. Look at my pictures, I have some pictures of there last paintings they came out really nice.

Tonight I had a really great conversation with one of the older girls of the Casa. She’s really cool. It was cool to kind of have a some what understandable conversation with my very little Espanole. We were just talking about movies and music, stuff like that. I did object when she said she liked Nicolas Cage as and actor. Haha. All I said was “Malo Malo Actoro”. She said that she want to go into acting when she goes to a university, which is next year. Very cool.

Oh if any of you guys want to send me some art supplies and things like that it would be cool. There isn’t the greatest variety of things here. I’m looking for vine charcoal, compressed charcoal, pink pearl erasers, art pencils(2B,4B), and cheep acrylic paint. I know the it might be hard to find cheep acrylic paint so if you see some and it’s really expensive don’t get it. Oh also it would be cool to get some decent paint brushes I know you can buy packs of them at Walmart for like 5 or 6 dollars. Well I think that’s a lot to ask for and I definitely don’t expect you to buy stuff just letting you know I would appreciate it  I want to get some better materials for the art classes. The kids are doing so great I would love for them to get some of the proper tools. Oh if you do send some of this to me try not to send it in to big of a package, try to flatten it as much as possible.

Well that about all I have to say for now. I’ve been getting tired early lately. I think it has to do with how buy my days usually are. But it keeps them fun and intresting!
