Welcome Students From Silao!

Monday February 9th

 The weather has officially warmed up and everyone is comfortable in the day to day routine at El Molino.  This morning our camp-mates arrived before breakfast.  They are students from Silao, a city in the state of Guanajuato.  Within minutes there were conversations being started, finding topics of common interest, and games to play together ( can you say futbol???).  The Silao students joined into the talleres and it was wonderful to see the inclusivity of our Park Day kids. We are now a larger community.

A typical day  consists of an amazing breakfast (to help everyone get energized for the day), followed by two different talleres before lunch . Before and after lunch there is always free time for showers, futbol, playing ukelele, snacks, sharing stories of the morning classes, and discussing what comes next.  It is so wonderful to see the campers NOT following as strict a schedule,  being able to "go with the flow", and find time to just take it all in. After lunch ,in the late afternoon, there is time for one more class before getting ready for dinner.  Evenings are filled with activities from camp fires to skit practice, and night hikes to dance lessons.  We are officially in the El Molino Groove and loving it!

Sorry the post is a day late-  we lost power ( and thus internet) yesterday afternoon and just got it back at 10:30 this morning.  Everyone will celebrate as they can now take showers!

On to another day of classes and adventures-
