Balty is better! And louder than ever. This morning when I made it home from class he couldn't wait to tell me that he did NOT throw up today, and he gets to go to school tomorrow! We've really bonded since the naked-dancing-on-the-bed incident, that's for sure. I guess I've seen it all ;)
Today's lunch was probably the best yet. Priscilla called it somethingo somethingo italiano...whatever it was, I could eat it every day: a zucchini-like thing cut in half and filled with a meaty cheesy mixture, then baked. Served with white rice and onions and a small avocado salad. WOW.
After a small siesta, I went back to school to meet with Carlos (our advisor) and some other internationals. We walked to El Hogar de Nino Amor, a home for children where I will be volunteering in addition to the English-teaching job that Lauren and I are taking on every Monday.
There are 17 kids between the ages of 1 and 8 that live in this home. They have parents, but are unable to live with them for various, sad reasons. The woman in charge, Senorita Luz, showed us around. She is probably about 70 and couldn't be nicer. It must take a super special person to run a place like this. I'm looking forward to my first official day on Thursday :)
After leaving el hogar, I took a stroll to the metro and caught a train to Lauren's casa. I showed up without notice, as I am currently without minutes on my annoying go-phone...but was informed upon my arrival that we would be leaving soon for a cheap movie in Valparaiso with Lauren's fam! The movie was good...too bad it was in Chilean Spanish meaning I could only decipher about 40% of what they were saying...
Whats great about a great lunch ?
It leads to a great dinner. Yummo.
