Day 1 in La Carpio:
This is the first day that we had come to this amzing part of town. The very moment that I entered this area, a young female, age 11, by the name of Ana had grabbed me by the hand asking me for my name. After lunch following hard work leveling out the roads, I got to play with the children. A simple game of catch had turned into a large game of soccer. This is the moment that all of the kids and I had a connection that could not have been broken.
Day 2 in La Carpio:
Unfortunatley, this is the day that we had to leave. The people of La Carpio had made us two cakes along with prepared a pinata for us to play with. The kids that I had met the day before had urged me to play and hit the pinata. After that, the children had walked with me to the van and said their good byes. This is when I had given my young friend Ana my hat so that she can remeber me. It was very hard to leave the people of la carpio. They were all very nice! All of the people had a sence of happiness and it touched my heart. I will forever remeber the moment that Neil accidently walked into one othe people's houses and the little kids had sang, "Gringo in mi casa! Gringo in mi casa! Gringo in mi casa!" as they danced arround.
The trip to the valcano:
The trip to the valcano in the cloud forest was very interesting. I think that it was a beautiful sight to see along with a great walk. While we were walking, Mike was "bullying" people which consisted in him running arround taking pictures of random people including us and himself in a very funny fasion. This was deffinatly a highlight to the walk itself. I just wish that we could have spent more time actually looking at the valcano and taking pictures.
