Unfortunately (no, really, unfortunately) the school we should have been at today was tied up with exams so Arturo had another brainwave and suggested an afternoon on the beach.
Should hasten to add this was after a hard days work yesterday, back to the very first school we visited and this week it`s Africa so naturally it`s lion masks and snakes.....
as well as games involving lots of noise and fun,
not to mention some serious reading - if you can call reading a book that involves yelling cha-cha-cha
at regular intervals serious that is (Cha-cha-cha en la selva: Cha-Cha-Cha in the jungle).
And always the interested onlookers....
Later, back at the house, we spent several hours sorting books, testing about a million felt-tip pens and generally tidying up the boxes of materials, preparatory to planning a mini-library which it is hoped to establish in part of the BookBus house.
So a slightly later start this morning was very welcome as was a lazy afternoon on the beautiful beach at Los Frailes, also within the Machalilla National Park. This was not a golden sands and blue sky kind of beach today : it has rained quite often since we`ve been here, turning the dusty streets of Puerto Lopez quite quickly into a slippery mud-slide and it was drizzling and grey this morning but it was warm! and with very few people about an excellent place to relax, swim and explore the rocks and surrounding forest.
The weird and wonderful forest deserves a whole new post as does our adventure on Sunday.......but it`s another early start tomorrow so - hasta luego!
Great post and photos. Could be Sue in Falmouth..........!!!!!
