Barefoot

I was organizing my room when one of my roommates came in and told me that some kids were calling for me by the gate. I continued putting things away, planning to come down in a minute and they she said "One of them said her name is Franceska." I dropped what I was doing.

Outside my gate were 8 of my adorable neighbors, and Franceska. I hugged and kissed them all and they asked me to walk with them to their house. I started walking and then realized that I was not wearing any shoes. I walked anyway. We have had a lot of rain lately so we plunged through many puddles. The kids all took turns holding my hands and getting piggy back rides. They all were screaming "Teacher Carsyn mira! Mira! Yo! Teacher CARSYN!" Franceska was excited to show off our handshake to the group.  Franceska'a little brother was  in the group tonight and he is a CUTIE. He made sure to tell my fellow teachers that the red gringa was his friend only.

I played with all of them for a long time. We played handshake games and noise games. I can talk and sing with my mouth closed and they love it. They puff their cheeks out and hum when they want me to do it. I pretend not to understand what they want for a while just because its so cute to watch.

I love playing with the kids in my cute little town. I don't know what I am going to do when I get home and kids don't run up to hug me yelling "teacher teacher."
