The past few days has been great. We had a few parties - one with the kids in the earlier post and a farewell for Parker who has been volunteering here for 6 weeks! It was great chatting, bonding and just enjoying each other's company.
On Thursday, we made Father's Day cards for all the workers on the land with the family photos that we took on Children's Day. We developed the photos, glued them onto a blue bristol board and then wrote a thank you note and pasted it on the inside of the card. To us, it seems like such a small gesture of "Thank you" but to them, it showed that we actually do care about them and their family. Some were almost in tears as this is their first family photo and even said now they want to work even harder for us because we are "good people". It was amazing and touching. We take so many things for granted and I can't even count how many times I have been close to tears from witnessing everything out here.
Today we went to the biggest market in Central America! It was amazing...I bought some great things including a yellow hammock seat! I wanted one last year when I went to Costa Rica but decided against it....and now I finally got one! Pictures from the market will be posted later....sorry but I'm lazy right now!
Firecrackers for Parker!
