On Saturday we met up with the vols in CholChol in Temuco. We went to a cafe and had cake to celebrate Aminas birthday. As a birthday present they gave Amina something a little different.
Meet Vincent Maloy/Sheldon/Poseidon/ Abdula/Moquito.
Yep. We have a turtle. He's really cute and small. He's in a nice big box with water and rocks etc. Amina got a water heater so he swims around very happily. Only had one escape attempt but he was found quickly enough hiding under some books. Argh he's so cute.
On Sunday we went out picking blackberries and made great smoothies. Mmm rica.
All week we've gone to escuela 6 seeing as we still haven't heard anything about going to Vega Larga. Lots of noise. The classes are all so noisy. I remember primary school being quite quiet. We were never allowed to talk as loudly as the kids do here. We were given many adorable cheek kisses from the kids. It's even cuter when the little boys do it cause you know they won't do it when they get older.
This afternoon we went out for tea with Ingrid and a couple of students. Very tasty. Had giant sandwiches and talked the whole time in Spanish which is enjoyable now that we can. I think the summer has made us better at socialising. Things seem a bit easier with the teachers as well. Although this doesn't help us remember their names. There's one we just know as "smiley guy".
Off to Valdivia tomorrow. The weather's supposed to be quite nice this weekend.
