Lots going on!

Wow so its been a while again i'm sorry, but things have been so busy lately with teaching, soccer, volleyball and home. My list of things to get done is seemingly NEVER ending but i'm trying not to let that get me too overwhelmed. We had a full weekend of muisc practice, going to valle and church. Like amy said we both found a number of things that we would like to get from Valle before we leave. I bit the bullet and bought a painting that I have wanted since my first trip to Valle 3 years ago. I love it, so full of colour and I am really glad that I decided to go for it and not do without it. I'll have to take a picture of it so you can all see it.

This week is a shorter one because we have our teacher retreat and I am excited for an excuse to not do any work on the weekend. THen monday will be spent celebrating Amy's birthday and getting ready for the next week. Our soccer teams will be leaving that week for San Pedro as well but sadly my team didn't qualify so we won't be going :( We do get to go for Volleyball though...just hope my team pulls together and gives their all!

Here are a couple of my favourite pictures from Caving...which was totally AMAZING!!! Nowhere that i've ever been would ever have allowed me to play and explore around like i was able to do in that cave. We made our own way out :) so awsome! We had a great trip...7 girls, most of which I have never been able to travel with so that was cool in its self. It was also one of my cheapest vacations too. Bus there....$10.....Food....$7.....Total expenses $34.....Entire weekend Priceless!!

neways here are some picts hopefully they upload.

Our Fearless Leader



One of the houses on the trail to the caves...very primative



The hourses/donkeys that carry all the supplies to the village 3 hours into the jungle.



Me in the mouth of the cave

This was as we were heading down into the mouth...carrying all the waterbottles and thought i'd pose for a chaco commercial :)

Here is our group after we finished and found our way out of the cave :)
