FOTO CON LA RUBIA

Thursday 13/05:

We took the kids to the Parque and generally hung out with them this day :] we only had a smallish group because a lot of the children have colds and arent allowed to go out. a lot of the younger boys no even ask permission before they go and look for mangos which is a lot of progress..
some of the boys came back from mango hunting and they had found needles on the floor and once they realised that we needd to get them off them they thought it was funny and started to run around [injection type needles not sewing needles]in the end i gave them a very stern look and told him that enless he gave me the needle right now we would be going straight to the orphanage and thati would tell tamara. so they both gave me the needles and one had a cap on but one didnt but i was sure they hadnt pricked themselves and i took the needles into a nearby shop and explained that the children i look after found them in the street and can you please put them in your rubbish so that they dont find them again and she said that it was fine and oo i wander what they were used for.. and i was thinking REALLY YOU DONT KNOW??? and the old old old lady that she was serving was like they were used for drugs OBVIOUSLY which i thought was hilarioussss asnd i said thankyou and left and found the boys and told them that it was very dangerous and that if they ever found something like that again not to touch and it to tell a Tia.

At the football the ladies training was muchhh better and the girls were much nicer :] and after while we were watching the boys football a little boy and a little girl whowere both sooo adorable kept looking over and giggling then getting shy and running away and then coming back and then theyboth stood next to where we were sitting and the girl said to the boy i cant do it and giggled and then the boy took something out of her hand and came over to me and smiled and gave me a little sweet and then they both ran away it was the CUTEST thing i have everrrr seen and after that they kept picking flowers and bringing them to us and laughing and smiling and then the boy had to go home and the girl came and sat on the floor about ten metres away from us and Belen [she joined the team] was in the car so we had a spare seat and a told the little girl to sit down and i asked her name but she got all shy and when belen came back they had a little convo and she is just the sweetest kid :]
after that we made friends with some other tiny girls aswell who wanted a hug with us haha.
towards the end we were all playing piggy in themiddle with the boys and running around the the TV people came but only interwieved the man that organised the team and we started taking photos of everyone and when we were about to leave all the older boys were shouting ¨foto con la rubia¨ [photo with the blonde girl] si i was like awwww ok and everyone cheered and i went got in the middle of all the boys for a photo it was soooo funny :P
We went home and had a siesta and the girls came round and we went to mentegato for veros birthday and had a really good night and we had a bet with marcelo that me and elen would stay out til three on thursday night, four on friday night and six on saturday night and we got back at half four on thursday so so far we´re winning :]
it was a really good night and we made friends with some rugby boys then some basketball boys and then an hamberguesa man and his friend :]
i also made new friends in the toilet who heard me speaking english to Vero and they got all excited because they study tourism and have to learn english and wanted to practise on me hehe.
it was a fabby night and was, as is now law, followed by an hamberguesa.

Love,
