Day 6

Hi, it's Jack,

We woke up today at 6:50, and we were almost late to breakfast because A.J. couldn't turn on the shower. We scarfed down the our cereal and tea. We had to wait for A.J. to put on his boots and were almost late to the school, where we cleared out more rock and cement. After clearing out the cement and rock A.J. went try hard in soccer and ripped his pants and he got a cut on his knee. After he cut his knee, he threw the ball in the goal three times. (PS - Parents: injury was minor) When recess was over we cleared more cement. Then we went home to have lunch, which was fried beans, rice, fried plantains, and tortillas. After lunch Melissa  (one of our homestay sisters, 11 years old) and I proceeded to beat A.J. ten times in a row in checkers.

Hi, it's A.J.,  

After Jack beat me a lot in checkers we went to a cooking class. At the cooking class I had trouble making empanadas because the dough kept sticking to my hands. After using water it went smoother. The tortillas went even worse. I was not even able to make one. After failing to make tortillas we played a game. We could not look and someone had to guide them across an obstacle course. I did good while Jack on the other hand.... When we got home we played Uno. Jack beat me the first three times then I finally beat him. For dinner we had chicken, rice, potatoes, tortillas, and a banana smoothie. Although its really hot in Las Viñas we are excited to cool off with some ice-cream in Flores tomorrow.
