Unity We Stand, Divided We Fall -Boss

Last Friday some of us went back to the School for the Deaf to clean off the spider webs on the outside of the school. Let me just say it was disgusting and way to many spiders, but we finished it up and lived through it. Those spiders were huge too... I mean come on they were African spiders!! Towards the end some of the students wanted to clean so they took our supplies and did some haha. They did it way faster than we did it though so that was embarrassing. Then later in the day we went to an orphanage to just play with the kids which we did! They loved playing with my camera, and one kid got into taking photos so much!! The others played football with them forever and those kids are so good! Their living quarters though are so sad and horrible it really depresses you, but you just try not to think about it to much. Today I went back the pre-school, which is located in Lolobi, and taught them a bit. Apparently when we are there we are the teachers. Last night Rachelle and I made little booklets for them to color in and write in, but we couldn't use them today since we did not have enough. We did bring a few books where the teacher made them recite several times what each animal was. Then we busted out the hokey pokey and they loved it! They liked how you got to dance around and wiggly... it was quite cute. Tomorrow we are bring them more American songs and other things to teach. The kids now love us all and aren't scared of us anymore. Ah I would take them all if it was possible haha they just are so cute. I love it here so much and wish I could teach them more.

This last weekend we went to the caves and rocked climbed (with no harness) and went inside some caves. It did take us an hour hike to reach the caves, but unfortunately we didn't have time to do all of them. The last cave we went in was their sleeping quarters back then and there were so many bats in there. The hole to get inside was tiny and when you are coming out bats are flying out at the same time. It was so tiny down there and hot, but a lot cooler than any other caves I have been to. I did some dangling over a cliff since our tour guide, Boss, told me to put my foot somewhere else and it was slippery. Thank goodness I was already holding on to a tree limb. After the caves we were off to Lake Volta which is 2 hours away from us. Our hotel was so beautiful since it was right on the lake. That night some of us headed to the disco at the other hotel. We got a tro tro to take us and our driver Ziggy hung out with us all night. We arrived at the hotel and they were all dancing to African music.. but then they did some American ones for us. A lot of dancing went on. Then Ziggy told us that the nightclub was open that was down the street. He took us over there and at first we were the only ones there but after a while it started getting crowded. We danced with EVERYONE! Then it started getting to crazy and we made Ziggy take us away... by this time it was mid-night hahaha!! We just danced so much we were exhausted! Plus the beer here is pretty tasty not gonna lie!
Since we do so much during the day we all usually are in bed around 8:30 or 9 so midnight was pushing it.
