Man alive......... I am tired as I sit here today... Matt and I left the house around 9 this morning and didn't get home til 6.... Now before all you critics say..."well that's what I do everyday." let me remind you that most of our day was spent walking around downtown Cebu, which was one of the more "interesting" places I have been, and we spent most of the day working in a school with only window unit Air Cons (that's how the Filipinos refer to air conditioners) after it was a steamy monsoon rain for most of the morning... you can only imagine the sweat that I have sweat today!
We did however get lots of stuff done today at the school..... we arranged our classrooms, and started going through all the stuff there... Then one of the assistants there, Evelyn, came over and took us downtown to buy fabrics for our bulletin boards and for curtains for the classrooms... There were some curtains there but they had teddy bears on the... don't get me wrong, I love teddy bears, but not in a 7th and 8th grade classroom...... we decided on some nice fabric that could be used in the classroom regardless of age......
For all of you who saw the picture of the computer lab at our presentation...I bought some nice storage containers so I can organize tomorrow... I can hardly wait!!! :0)
Another purchase I made downtown was a gallon sized pitcher for a cold beverage.... Yes, we have made a gallon of that fine southern wine......sweet tea!!! I am having a glass even now... My excitement from it may cause me to burst into fits of praise so bear with me.... HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You thought it was good back home.... you should taste it here in the heat of a non air conditioned room where the humidity is so thick that it makes the Hoover Dam look skinny.... It will bring tears to your eyes and make you thankful for your taste buds... All of you east coast people, be sure to have a glass of that sweet nectar for lunch....
I am off to bed now!!!!
