my day in the kitchen

Left: some niñas that were following Andy and I in the market. The one on the left is so funny, she looks like a P.O.´ed Elmo with that face and all the red. And how the other girls are standing like a foot away, my god.

Right: Finally, all the volunteers arrived and together for our first breakfast. left from me: Arnoul from Belgium, Yong from Korea, Erica from Canada, Martin from France, Andy from Colorado, Shin from Korea, (half-hidden) Vera from Germany, and lasty Daf and Dilly, an older couple from Wales.

My first day at the orphanage was cut short to half an hour because Erica and I were on kitchen duty, so we said Hi and had to bolt. From what I could tell, though, the kids were bubbly and talkative, seems like my job will me easy. So Erica and I walked all over this dusty little town, buying chcken, fruit, veggies, spices, and milk for lunch dinner and tomorrow´s breakfast. Today we made tuna wraps and chicken stew, both delicious in thanks to Erica. My calves and shins are sorer than they´ve ever been, I don´t know why the walking out here takes it out of me like that. But I´ll have a good rest and a REAL first day at the orphanage tomorrow. Sweet dreams everyone.
