In the morning, we began painting the
school. Which was kind of fun, but very messy… In the afternoon, we played with
some Costa Rican children (approximately 8-12, maybe older, maybe younger). We
played games such as Frisbee, freeze tag, and red light green light. It was
really fun!

We painted once again in the morning.
Adam talked to us about something he calls “Cultural last Minute-itus.” It
basically means that in the culture of Costa Rica and many other Central American
countries it is socially acceptable, even the standard protocol, to wait to do
everything until the last minute. If you’re meeting with someone at a certain,
don’t expect them until at least 45 minutes after the stated time.
Anyway, he asked us what we should do while we
waited for a woman to bring the keys (she’s the reason he started talking about
cultural last minute-itus in the first place). We decided to pick up trash
around the school.
Back at Home Base, we started a game of
Assassin (with water guns), but Chang got me out almost right away. In my defense, I was trying
to hang laundry out on the line.
