This is my 3rd grade class... there are 3 Ecuadorians, 1 from Tawain, 1 from China, and 2 from Korea.  I love them.

This is my 6th grade class.  There are 3 Ecuadorians, 2 Koreans, and 1 half Ecuadorian/half Korean.  I love them too.  
   Time goes so fast, I can hardly believe how long its been since I've written.  We've now had all 4 groups of orphans down to Peg's house once each.  The last group was really fun, because the kids were older (3 four year olds, 1 seven year old, and I'm not sure about the other) and thus more talkative.  We played dress up clothes with them, and they loved trying on different costumes.  The saddest part was the little boy who kept referring to his parents... assumably the parents he has imagined and dreamed about for his whole little life, while watching many of the other kids being adopted (there are very few older kids who are not special needs at the orphanage, because by that age, most have been adopted).  

   I went camping this weekend... sort of.  We stayed in a cozy cabin with a great fireplace.  Its always so nice to get out of the city and explore.  

   Tomorrow is a holiday - Dia de los Difuntos, which is more or less a day to remember the dead.  Colada Morada (a thick drink made out of many fruits and herbs... we made it during Spanish class and it took over 2 hours) and Guaguas de Pan (loaves of bread shaped like babies) are very common everywhere around this time of year.  

   We had a halloween party on Friday, which included the limbo and piñatas.  Unfortunately candy here just doesn't compare to the halloween candy in the States.
