Day at the beach!!

This weekend, I went to the beach with some students. It was crazy hot outside! 














Gin in a bag?

I was this inside a spot, and I had to see what this was all about. Its true, they sold gin and whiskey in a bag. Im not the biggest fan of either of them, but I had to buy one. Where else will you find something like that for 20 cents?!?

Visiting a school at random!

On this day, I decided to visit a random school that is run by the government. I did not know anybody there. I was prorbably there for about 10 minutes. The students were very funny!


In this picture, the students were doing an art project for class.





Washing my clothes

I decided I was going to wash my clothes by hand. I needed clothes the next day and the washing machine is broken. It takes 3 hours to complete a cylce using the washing machine haha. It took me about an hour to wash and hang my clothes. They were very clean. (If your wondering...the woman behind me is our cook)



Getting My Hair Cut

This is brother Joans cutting my hair. He is very good at it!









Climbing The Coconut Tree!

This is one of my students, Peter, climbing a coconut tree. He collected almost 20 coconuts. The brothers and I took 8 to our house. He takes most of them since he was the one who climbed it haha.
