Day Four: Site visit & Lord of the Flies

Site Visit:Today we TE folks visited Chelsea in her school and home communities. It's Saturday, so school was not in session, but for some reason we still were told to dress up, and then it was weird because we sort of hiked around and my dress shoes were not appropriate. Mixed messages! Chelsea and other volunteers were super helpful and kind. Everyone seems to really try to ensure we're understanding stuff. It's almost too much hand holding but since I prefer that to none, it's okay. Joel and Isabel (the TE directors) joined us today, and I really enjoyed seeing them out of the office. Chelsea's mama prepared an exceptional meal of chicken, rice, and plantains. I ate it with a spoon. The chicken was so fresh that it wasn't a big issue! The host family was preparing some pork to sell? at an upcoming dance. Not sure I got that but I did see this guy - yes, that's exactly what you think it is... a dead pig's head hung by it's ear.
And of course the chicken's family wasn't too far away, either. Overall, a good day, but I'm excited to experience life out of the dorms and in my own room, even without wifi.  So begins the real training! Spanish, skills, etc. Ahhhhh! Buenas Noches!
Also, here's our outrageously good looking TE G76 group in all our glory. (24 of us total + Joel, Isabel, and Tyler)
