Two weeks already!

AAAAAAAHHHH! Time is going by so fast! But we are doing crazy stuff every day and making the most out of it. This past weekend I went to two cities called Apaneca and Ataco (yes we made many taco jokes). In Apaneca we did a fourteen leg zipline, it was so fun! The first six legs were a little short, then the seventh one was over this huge ravine and super long, I was a little scared first but then it was a blast! We ate some really good pupusas there, and then at Ataco we got a lot of different artisan souvenirs and stuff. It was a really cute town with murals all over the place and some really good food too. Our driver Oscar, was super cool. Usually they just keep to themselves but he went around with us and taught me a lot of stuff about El Salvador. He introduced me to chilate con nuegados, which I don´t really know how to explain but they are really good!
On Monday I did Habitat for Humanity for the first time, it was a blast! The bus ride took about three hours so it was fun talking to people. We´re working in a little town in San Vicente that had their houses destroyed last November during a mudslide. They´re building the houses pretty fast too! We had an interesting job, we had to shovel out about six inches of mud and water from a house and it´s back porch. I´d never been in mud so much, it was totally insane! But a blast of course, my arms even got a little sore from the shoveling.
Yesterday was really fun, we went with CIPI, which is a children´s home for teenage girls that have either been abandoned, abused, or many other things. We all went to a park and had a fun day. It rained a lot too, which was crazy but fun. I had my four friends and we were all huddled under this little roof eating some of my peanuts and playing the "Would you rather" game. They were so much fun. Their stories of how they got to this home are all so hard to swallow, it amazes me how positive they can still be and loving to each other. I also love being able to practice my Spanish!
Yesterday was Teacher´s Day! I felt very special being a teacher. School was out and for our English classes we watched Up in English and talked about it. While we were waiting for class to start I was talking to some of my students and I tried telling them some jokes in Spanish. I was a little worried they wouldn´t get it but when I got to the punch line they were hysterical! It definitely boosted my self esteem :)
Today we went to the University of Central America to talk about how to help with literacy classes. It was a good meeting, we have a few more contacts and hopefully we´ll be able to get them rolling soon.
I´m sorry I haven´t posted any pictures yet, hopefully I will learn soon and be able show you how things are here, because it´s awesome!
