magos kill enanos, enanos kill gigantes, gigantes kill magos (it's like rock, paper, scissors...but it's played in teams and involves gestures, running, tagging)
Kelly making a poster for our newly-formed sixth grade chess club
some of the best pictures we have taken in El Salvador are of our students/ yet, for good reasons, we can't put these pictures online without talking to all the parents/ so we are left with pictures like this that leave out faces and such
during our first chess club meeting/ alfil=bishop
one of our ecological clubs at the local sulfur hot springs
believe it or not: we cooked in the boiling waters of the hot springs plantains, eggs, and potatoes/ delicious/ you might also notice the unfortunate, but ever-present litter that partially undercuts the beauty of this country
potatoes and hard-boiled eggs a la hot spring
political propaganda, sometimes quite artistic, abounds/ the quote reads, "if we were capable of uniting, how beautiful and soon would the future be" -Che Guevara/ to the immediate left of this painting are portraits of the left-wing FMLN presidential and vicepresidential candidates, Monsignor Romero, and our pueblo's newly-elected mayor
Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!
on Saturday, we went to our first fiesta rosa. when a girl turns fifteen (she is called una quinceañera), there is often a huge party. this is a picture of our invitation. the event started out with a special mass in the church for the young lady. we then headed to the school for dinner, dancing, cake. it was a thrill. the girl and her friends practiced a show; it was basically a twenty minute music video that included clips of the latest songs from Daddy Yankee, Britney Spears, and such. we danced too. we're still learning.
