During their last day together, Naomi, Rachel, Sydney and Morgan D.were some of the travelers eagerly teaching their new friends to play "spit" (a card game). By this morning, Eliza and Aziza also had their hair braided at breakfast. Anyone with hair long enough - and the patience to sit still - may be coming home braided. Their counselors are having a good time with that, as well. Last night the camp was jouncing to the sounds of salsa. Reluctant at first, our travelers danced into the evening, Californians and Mexicans together, and many are hoping that there will be salsa again tonight.
Finally, we wanted to share some sights your travelers see going through a day in Erongaricuaro.
A few more notes from tailleres:
Animales (con chicititos)
The conejitos are a big hit. Maddy has discovered a vocation as a conejito(bunny)-whisperer: petting them to sleep in her arms and then snapping photos of the little sweeties with their legs up in the air. She has her own pictures of this phenomena. We are hoping she will bring this important new life skill back to the CC, spreading soft calm though the campus.
Queso de Campo
From milking cows, to making cheese, caramels, and other foods, these students have been making and exploring the tastes of Michoacan. Mahlika was very excited to go into town to buy galletas to spread their freshly-made carmel on. Es muy sabroso! Below is a picture of the artisan cheese-maker and his kitchen.
Beatriz, Karen, and Timnah will continue to share our adventures with you tomorrow, in this group-written blog.
