On of my favorite traditions has been all of the hair braiding. Just about everyone here has cornrows. Most also have multicolored rope braided with their normal hair. My students all have bright blue, red, yellow, ect. hair braided all the way down their backs. It is beautiful! And.. you guessed it, I have cornrows again.
I went to Caberete with a group yesterday. The weather could not have been more perfect. I splurged and rented a chair for 100 pesos for the first time. I also had a great time playing in the ocean. Caberete is famous for its strong winds and waves.
After a sufficient amount of beach time we got lunch/dinner at a local restaurant called "Fresh Fresh." I got to have vegetables which is a rare treat for me. I had an amazing eggplant salad and a fresh fruit smoothie. The restaurant had a 'build your own' smoothie option for a great price. I filled mine with local fruits (mango y pina). I am not trying to sound cliche but it was the best smoothie that I have ever had in my life.
I am starting to book activities for me and my parents to do when they arrive. I am so excited because they are going to be here so soon! There is so much to see so we will be very busy.
I go back to school on Monday. I am excited because I miss my students. I am teaching gym next week and I have so many fun activities planned. I channeled my Dad for the ideas and even used some of his P.E games from a book he has been working. I am excited to see how my students like these games.
I am nervous because I know the next 2 weeks are going to fly by way too quickly.

SO cool! I did not realize the number of teachers. This is a very awesome picture as well. My sunshine, you are amazing!
