So this morning as you guys saw, I had an excellent view while working out! It was spectacular to see in person and it seemed to fade some as soon as I went to get my camera! This morning after breakfast I met with Coco and Bryson to discuss our plans for the visitors we have coming this weekend.
A Doctor of Physical Therapy and a PA who has her PhD and teaching at St. Francis University in PA, are coming to do a site visit on Saturday. We found out earlier in the week that tomorrow is Constitution Day here so everything is shut down on Monday for the holiday. So, kind of bad timing for them to visit because everything will be closed but we have worked out some times for them to visit the Rehab Center and the hospital is open because of the ER.
After meeting with Coco, Arianni and her brother Luis Alberto came over to the mesita where we were sitting and starting talking and playing with us. I hung out with them for a bit and then headed up to my room to shower for the day!
The rest of the morning I played around online, talked to my Mom, and headed to do dental inventory! Nancy, THANK YOU!, labeled all the pictures I took of the tools we had and I went and counted what we had. This took longer than I thought. I had hoped to be done at lunch but wasn't even half way done.
At lunch, Coco bought some sugar cookies for us from the bakery so we got to enjoy those. Yummy! I then headed back up to do some more dental inventory. Still didn't finish before I had to leave to head into town.
I went to speak to the director of the Rehab Center to work out a time to meet with her to open the center to tour with the visitors. She wasn't there at first so I went with Coco to Lilo's the little market place and helped her pick up stuff for goodie bags she made for us tomorrow.
When I got back I played with Ari a little bit. Two of the little girls had a puzzle with food on it, so we would go to the "colmado" (little place to by food) and buy drinks, apples, etc. and "eat" the puzzle pieces. I couldn't play for too long because I wanted to finish dental inventory today! I headed back up and finished before Spanish class started.
Before dinner I hung out with the kids. I just sat on one of the benches with Luz Maria and talked with some of the teenage girls. Then we went to the mesita and read with some of the kids. They really enjoy reading which is good!
After dinner, I went back out and hung out with the kids again. They were a little crazy tonight. Jennifer fell asleep in my lap which was sweet. Freddie was sitting next to Christine and copying everything she said in English. He kept saying "I'm a girl". It was hilarious and his English was pretty good although I'm sure he didn't know a lot of what he was saying. He does know girl though! I went inside and sat with Lisy and tickled her for a while. Heather was singing with Arianni, one of the 3/4 year olds and it was adorable. She was standing on the top of the table, just signing at the top of her lungs a song called Cada Dia! It was so precious and I wish I had my camera so I could have gotten a video. She sang this and another song and was dancing along on the table!
Tomorrow we eat breakfast at 6:30 and leave at 7:00am to head to the center of the DR and tour and hang out. Should be fun and I'm excited to get to spend time outside of the orphanage with 10 of the kids! Get ready for a lot (hopefully) of pictures from tomorrow!
