December 1st

Today was our first R & R day. It was great. We went to the beach and totally hung out all day. Some of us went in the ocean, which was really warm, considering the time of year, and some laid on the beach tanning, and some of us went on a walk and found LOTS of awesome colored shells. I got to see a live Sand Dollar, which was completely awesome, and a bunch of snails that bury themselves into the sand after the water washes over them. It was kinda gross, but cool at the same time. The guys played with the Frisbee and we got to order fish or chicken with a couple sides for like $3. It was a great, cheap meal. J It was so nice to just relax and see the world in a different way. There was like no one on the beaches and the water was so clear. We got home and immediately started preparing for tomorrow. We have a really big outreach tomorrow…well, two outreaches. The groups are going to be splitting up and going to two different things. The first group is getting up at about 4 to be ready to leave by like 5 for the outreach and then they won’t be home till 5 in the evening. And the second group is going to be up at about 5:45 so that they can be ready to leave at about 6:30. J And they will be home at around 2. I hope to get someone from the other group that I am not in to write something about how it went. Also, our team leaders from HSE came today. Elise, Chris Kingston (now there are three Chris’s J), Naomi and Cisco. It is going to be awesome to see them and show them what is going on here in San Salvador.
