The Longest Day

Author: Shelly Dean
Location: San Jose, Museo de los Ninos, La Carpio
The day started off with a pancake breakfast that a group of boys slept through. After our WONDERFUL breakfast everyone got onto our bus and we were off to San Jose. In San Jose we went to the childrens museum where we helped chaperone the little kids from La Carpio. The museum was huge and filled with the most random things that ranged from how to brush your teeth to animals in the jungle. The little kids had lots of fun in the museum and were screaming or running around us many times over. As soon as we finished our tortillas for lunch in San Jose we headed to La Carpio to try and finish up the playground. It ended up taking a lot longer than we espected and we didn't head back to the hotel until dark. The wall we set up in La Carpio was the biggest challenge. Atfter we got all the poles up, one of the wall slabs was too big. So after we spent a wonderful synchronized time jumping up and down on it to get it in place we realized that the slab had pulled the post in the wrong direction. So we got to play in the dirt and dig up all the concrete we had just poured and reset the pole. We then decided to shorten the slabs so they would fit better. This solved the problem and before we knew it the wall was up and it was dark. After a long day we got back to the maranon and had dinner rounded out with ice cream!!!
