Its Wednesday my Dudes

Today I, Will Rappole, woke up to Jack yelling "Its Wednesday my Dudes" time after time. And as usual, most of us fell back asleep and needed to be woken up again a few minutes later. For breakfast, we had eggs, beans and corn tortillas with water. We briefly saw some of the kids in the cafeteria or outside and had 30 minutes to hang before going to the Technical School. Some of us played rummy and some made freindship bracelets. At the Technical School we finished the room we started on wednesday and then painted half of the carpenters room. For lunch we had rice, banana juice, some type of fruit salad and beef. After lunch we played volleyball and soccer with the boys. We started a game of volleyball, but during a serve, Alex with a one in a million shot, hit the edge of thepole and cut open the volleyball. Some people were mad but I amazed at the beautiful moment that was before me. According to Jason, we were the first team to beat the tech boys in a soccer match (even though we got destroyed in the first game). Instead of watching the bopys climb up a greasy pole, today we got to see a play, in spanish. Today was Lempira day in Honduras, a day celebrating the tribe sthat first started Honduras. Three of the boys, one of them being Junior, the kid we play soccer with, had a dress up contest. They dressed in native-like clothes and walked up and down the stage. The crowd, the other boys and us, yelled and clapped for the one we wanted most. Junior, being the oldest in the competition, won by a lot. After that, 10 other boys dressed up as either Englishmen or Natives and reenacted the first meeting between them. We couldnt understand it but we still had a good time and it was funny. We traveled back to the city and most of us got snacks at the office. We played soccer, cards and catch with some of the kids before we had to go to dinner. For dinner, we had bacon and ham pizza which was on of the best meals we've had so far. Today we got to hang with the middle aged boys in the auditorium, making bracelets for eachother, making relationships, playing the ukuelele, and playing with cars. We created a rivalry between those who like Real Madrid and Barcelona, me being on Barcelona's side. But the kids were always happy to be around us no matter which team we liked. Per usual, we played soccer for 20 minutes with the younger kids, them totally outnumbering us and beating us by two. We had a team meeting after talking about moments that changed our opinions on el hogar and how all of us have been sharing the experience. Overall, it was an exciting, funny and hardworking day. Adios!
