Wednesday is halfway through the week!

Now I know I'm here to volunteer an do my part but I have to say I and glad to be halfway through this week. There is a heat wave just now in costa rica and the air is thick and got with no movement. Working with seven hot children is hard for all of us as they get overheated and frustrated.
Today was such a contrast of emotions, the morning stayed slow with two children and we coloured in some pictures and played on the swings. I was bitten today, not badly and there were several bad tantrums but marlane, the lady in charge, in so firm with the time out chair that it does work and they do apologise!
In contrast today I taught the 3 older kids, who are between 4 and 5 to Scottish country dance! It was so funny and they were laughing and loving it. We needed some music so Marlane put on some regatone- a perfect combination! Also we picked oranges from her trees and peeled them for the children, they have a big snack of fruit at 10am and today they were happily munching on guavas, it's odd to see children eating what we scots would consider exotic fruit. So, while under the trees I felt something heavy land on my head and I knew it wasn't an orange! I tipped my head up and started shacking it an felt whatever it was scramble first onto myy ponytail and then onto and down my back. I shouted for Marlane and she said something, I never know exactly and pointed to a big lizard on the ground! It hard jumped onto my head!! It was pretty big about the length of one hand and a half. The kids were intrigued and scared and all ran to cling on to my shouting "sophia, sophia", I think I won valuable cool points!
Will tell you more about Cuidad Quesada on my next blogg, and describe where I'm staying and the surrounding area, xxxx
