The First Farewell

Author: Erin L
Location: La Carpio, La Cine
We all got to sleep in this morning (9 o'clock) and were well prepared for our final day in La Carpio. Activities at the street fair included hopscotch, jewellery, coloring, jump-rope, balloon animals, and airplane flying. I was at the jewellery making table with Paris, as soon as we sat down the kids swarmed us. We can't help that the kids love us. From our area if you take a casual glance around you would see smiling kids faces running around going crazy (and also you would see Mike and his new balloon making skills being put to the test by sugar high kids). As a farewell to the kids in La Carpio we presented them with a delicious cake and said goodbye. Later we all went to el cine, due to some hook-ups by Gail we got to see the much anticipated Harry Potter movie. Even though it was in English it was fun to read the Spanish subtitles. This has been a very Harry Potter enriched trip with two of our members in the group reading the 7th book, you can always hear the angry; Stop talking about Harry Potter I don't want to hear anything!! After the movie we were all picked up by our homestay families and taken home, out on the town, or to a fiesta depending on the family. They wanted to spend the last night with us. It was sad knowing that this was our last night with our families, we are all gong to miss them very much.
