Today was a really fun day at school. We took all of the students to this beautiful park just outside of El Cuervo for a day of "camaraderie-building" between the students, teachers, and parents. Basically, it was just a day to relax and have fun. The day was hosted by the mom's group, and what a feast it was! They cooked all sorts of delicious food, including paella, and the kids all contributed food as well. Besides the food, there were soccer games being played, faces being painted, nature walks being taken, laughing, swinging, running - you name it. There was even a competitive dodgeball match between the teachers and the parents...and I'm not joking when I say competitive. I almost fell over laughing when I saw the principal of our school peg one of the parents HARD with the ball. HILARIOUS. And after the game, the teachers and parents were all rewarded with a nice cold beer - I couldn't believe it. Could we ever get away with having a beer on a school fieldtrip in the USA? Doubtful. Anyway, it was a perfect day...one that I will never forget.

Me with some of the 5th graders...is it sad that we're the same height?
