Visit to Santa Cruz!

I am back in Santa Cruz for a couple of days to look into buying some computers/computer stuff for the lab at the school. It worked out for me to come during this time since the wife of one of the other volunteers was arriving this morning with another girl as well. I came with the husband (Larry) via bus (or "flota") as they call them here. It was much more comfortable than my bus ride in Peru, but this time I was cold because the person in front of me had the window open and the air was blowing in my face for about 3 hours+ before I finally stood up and reached over and shut it (they were sleeping). I'm staying with a friend that lives here and am planning to return to Trinidad Thursday morning.

This is the last week of classes at the school before they have a 3 week break. Monday the first camp begins out at the "Chaco", where I´m a co leader for about 11 boys. I'm on the red team, same as the last camp I went to. The next week is the camp at the school for the younger kids, it's only 3 days though. For that camp, I'm on the blue team.

My schedule is rapidly filling up, this past weekend I started teaching Microsoft Excel to some of the staff at the school and I have plans to continue with other subjects. Because of this, I am considering scaling back my involvement with the youth group, at least for now, especially the AWANA JV because they have plenty of help.

Oh yeah, Happy Fourth of July to all of you!
