The teachers made Rachel, Rita, and me lunch yesterday to celebrate our time here. I just have to say I love carne asada. I don't each much red meat when I'm cooking on my own, so to have delicious red meat really hit the spot. We also ate tortillas, potatoes, chile (broccoli and carrots spiced with jalapenos), salsa, and three milks cake.
The only problem with the lunch was that I had already attended two parties thrown by my third grade and sixth grade classes, respectively. The third graders are going to be the future party planners/teachers/CEOs of Guatemala because they sure know how to plan. We had snacks, we played games (find the stickers on the balloons, pinata, etc), we had a dance party (to Tarzan music, of course). The sixth graders are a little more upscale in their celebrations, with a table cloth covering all of the desks that have been pushed together, nachos and salsa, ramen, zucchini bread, grape pop, and popsicles.
The entire day was very sweet. Probably my favorite keepsake will be some of the cards students wrote.
Grateful for my time here, E.
