Today, My class went on a short walk to the river just to look around and to collect sand for our craft which we did a bit later. It was fun to get out of the school and the kids really enjoyed it. They have been doing there numbers and thoughourly enjoyed running around pointing our all the numbers they found on the way to the river. I took this outing as an opportunity to take my camera in and the kids loved posing and then looking at the picture.
I had a pretty cool weekend. On Saturday I got up early and joined a group of about 12 and went white water rafting. It was amazing and I only fell out once but was pushed many times. It was a catgory 4 river so the rapids were quite big, I was in a smaller raft with just three others and we tried so hard to flip it, but it never happened! In all we rafted down two separate river doing about 40km in all. It took the whole day and I was pretty tired at the end and have got sun burnt on my knees as all
sun cream attempts were worthless as I was in the water so much.
Sunday I went along with my Host Family to Bilma´s (the host mum) sisters new house and helped paint it. It was a very simple wooden plank house but the aim was to paint the enitre thing, inside and out. In all I think I painted about three of the rooms and it took ages but it was much appriciated and I was given a nice lunch when we got home!
I plan to do some more rafting in the coming weekends because it was awesome!!!!
Anyway, I hope all is well with you all.

Hello!
Hey you. can't say this enough (well at least to myself) but I'm dead jealous. How often do you get to blog? Glad to hear you've been trying hard to stay clean and healthy as well as learning a language!! Coke is the way forward. I bumped into Mr. Scotchmer at a concert at the weekend, which was nice - yes I did miss him. I'm just off to a language and Theory lecture now, but keep up the awesome pictures and blogs:) xx
