march 12, 13, and 14

i worked in the fields planting trees today. we've firmly established that junior is lazy, juan louis and yovanski are hard workers, and i'm an underestimated girl. after work yovanski shimmied up a coconut tree and got us a snack. he hurt himself pretty bad on the way back down however and walked funny for a couple mintues. we laughed. anyway, we cracked 'em open (okay they cracked them open, they wouldn't let me use the machete), and we ate and drank until we were sick. I had one in time it took for yovanski to get through 5, juan louis had 3... i got beat.

nat and ash and i went for a walk past the cows. we were planning on heading to the river to swim, but we got lost. haha. whoops. on the way back i stopped at house 4. i love them. i really do. we played softball with a deflated red rubber ball for a couple minutes, then we all hopped on a giant rock in their yard. we decided that we should play king of the rock. we ran, and pushed, and giggled, and got muddy, and fell, and got squirted by Blas. it was great. i hadn't laughed so hard in a long time. but then i had to take a shower because all those adolescent boys rubbed their icky smell on me. i hadn't showered in a while.. it was about time.

there hasn't been food for 3 days. no breakfast... so we walked down to the bakery to try to beg some muffins off Beto. it's the friday before spring break. OH GLORIOUS DAY!!! after class, ash and i are going online shopping. yay!
