Conversacion y Comida (Wednesday)

When I was writing this journal entry last Wednesday night I read back over it out loud to our team, and we realized that we spent a majority of the day eating. Oops. The best way to explain this day is in timeline form:

7:00am: breakfast 

7:30am: figuring out the plan for the day

8:30am: heading into town for gardening supplies

9:00am: stopped at a hardware store and their happened to be a pastry shop next door so we went inside and ate

10:00am: walked through town to the plant store

10:40am: on the way back we got distracted and bought lyche (picture below). Lyche was an almost grape like fruit - really weird, but yummy.

12:00pm: after walking back to camp we were served lunch

12:30pm- began working in the gardens

2:30pm: found THREE venomous snakes in one of the flower beds. Our team member Ed, who is the most active 87 year old I've ever met killed all of them.

4:00pm: drove up closer to the volcano where we were served fresh strawberries in milkshake or whip cream form. Also, had the opportunity to buy snack foods and sweets.

5:30pm: got back to the camp and played basketball with a few of the kids that lived in volcán.

6:00pm: had dinner

7:00pm: walked to the nearby grocery store and got MORE snack food and candy.

8:00: played Mexican train, a dominos game until bedtime around 10.

So basically, we worked, walked some, talked, but MOSTLY we ate.
