I made it!!! :)

Hola mis amigos!!


I've made it to San Salvador!!! PTL!! All my flights went well and I didn't have any problems other than I think that I have a bit of sinus infection because especially on the airplane I couldn't breathe out of my nose and my ears started to hurt really really bad when we went up in the air, but the symptoms are decreasing so I should be alright ( I have to say that I am really glad that I packed my "Pharmacy"). I arrived yesterday at 12pm and Victor and Carlos Artilo met me at the airport and on our way back to we went out to eat at a Mexican Restaurant. The rest of the afternoon I went with to pick up Silvita from school and then Silvia and I went to the Gym while Silvita and Victor Raul did Karate. I was super tired since I had been up since 1am but I just couldn't turn down Victor Raul when he asked me to play Wii with him. The funny thing is that Victor Raul will not speak any English to anyone except he will with me but only little bits but its adorable :)


Today like usual my favorite rooster(aka my alarm clock) woke me up this morning around 5am but I actually went back to sleep until 6:30am. I went to El Guayabo! I apologize that there are no pictures from my first day up there...it's not because I didn't bring my camera (which is usually the case) but I forgot to charge the camera battery. I was reminded instantly about why I love these people and this country. It was my first time seeing the new community center and it is wonderful! I also saw the bathroom that Stonebrook built, I am SO thankful that they built a bathroom so we don't have to go find a bush ;) The kids are so adorable, some of them are a bit hesitant at first because I am a gringa but once they realize I will speak to them in Spanish, they want to play with me. The best part of the day came in the late morning when I was sitting in one of the chairs near the door and the second round of kids came to the center and three girls practically tackled me because they all wanted me to play with them, but the funnier thing was that Tati came running and yelled out "Una gringa esta aqui" and I just started to laugh but I probably shouldn't have because they try and teach them that saying gringa is not nice(personally I think its totally fine) and that they should say norteamericana but I thought it was funny anyway. :)



Other than that I am just going to chill and relax tonight and get some more rest but my first full day here in El Salvador was wonderful. I'm going to charge my camera batter tonight so I will be able to take some pictures tomorrow when I get to Guayabo!


Adios Amigos!!
