31 July Day 6

this is a picture of a sports day takin in San Jose after this the 6 year olds had to do two very long laps of the streets in the blazing sun ( we wouldn´t have stood a chance)

Today we woke up at 6 to do our biggest adventure yet. Even if it did take us slightly longer than intended to find the Centre for Disabled children in San Jose. We as a team spent a day going out buying diffrent supplies (Chain to fix a tyre swing, Nappies for the kids and plenty on paint for the paintings of diffrent animal we have drawn on the wall) Miss Woodbridge has told me to mention she has drawn a wonderfull giraffe. Britneys artistic talents also came in to good use.








As something a bit diffrent we managed to get a ride back to hostel on the back of a toyota flat bed truck with metal supports around the side. We did check this was safe to use before we did so. But this was a new experiance as this is the major wayt of traveling between local towns.





We would also like to mention it is Simons Birthday. He did get to celebrate in style with cake and cards (we even found time to buy another bag of marshmellows)





Once again we are having another massive downpore (Miss Woodbridge is annoyed with Grace Hurley for not advising her to put on waterproof trousers). We will be drenched by the time we return to the hotel. But the thunder and Lightning are still very impressive.





Tommorrow we return to the Centre for Disabled Children for our final day there and to finish paintings. then on saturday we are going to work at the libary.

It's great to hear how well the "holiday" is going! I'm just a little jealous, but looking forward to more posts of your exploits. The pics really do bring it to life for us back here, so keep them coming. Tom, just like to say how very proud both your mum and I are of you - it's a credit to you taking on such a challenge. Looking forward to the next post. Dad (Rob G) x :¬)
