5 Lb Boston Butt On Green Egg

6 months - half

I am now 6 months now and have received a few days ago my flight back to Germany Date: 9 August 2011
Since Christmas is the following happened: We had our volunteers' midterm camp "where we look at the remaining time with the previous six months had to reminisce. It was fun to spend another 5 days with all the volunteers together. Only I'm there, unfortunately lost one of my juggling balls.
The weekend after that I spent a couple of other volunteers at the volcano crater Quilotoa where we were very lucky with the weather! The best the last 2 months as the locals told us. We are there circles on a 5 1 / 2 hour hike to the crater lake.
The group in Quilotoa was

The weekend after I was invited my host family to ride with them for the annual family reunion at the beach (40 aunts and uncles and cousins). I was very happy that they have invited me and it was a nice and relaxing weekend. I had just eaten nearly a shark. (See photo)
In my work I am now well integrated into the teacher team.
Recently I had a great success, I managed a boy to bring a book to read! This is unfortunately a rarity among children, especially if they are street children. I had read to the group of guys who live in the moment in the Caleta the first chapter of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (of course with an appropriate voice for each character which amused my very Italian staff has). After a while, but after that has really grabbed the book and a further read. Meanwhile, he has only two chapters are missing then he is through, and every morning he asks me if I'm always excited for the book.
I'm especially happy about it because I started exactly in the same way and with the same book to read independently.
In my school, I will soon (with the "soon" since early January, extends far) English classes start in the 8th 9 and 10 to give the school year because the current teacher then goes on maternity leave. This is a big challenge, because the students are not very disciplined.
This weekend I'm working at my days off for my vacation to earn in the Galapagos. I am 27 April to 4 Mai Travel there - Yay! Today
on Sunday we were with the children of Caleta in the zoo:
On the outward journey

currently six children live in Caleta, which is the cap with my boss Miguel

Until next time!

How To Style My Hair Like Synyster Gates?

Tour Casa del Gringo

trip into Casa del Grino

Yesterday I was about to go off in my room when I asked the kindergarten teacher Tia Violetta whether I would be interested in the small to participate out of the kindergarten with a trip to one of the tourist facilities. Tio Walter, a long acquaintance and friend of the orphanage, has a small leisure complex, with a large pool. Each summer, may then pass the children out of Westfalia in small groups for a swim. This opportunity, of course I did not want to miss, so I quickly flitze in my room, packed my things and then it was also going on already. Down the road then we squeezed us all into a taxi and drove to Casa del Gringo "by Tio Walter. The fact that we crush us with three adults and 10 children in a taxi is for me now too common and nothing special more ...

After we had changed us, we had the first instance to take care with small water wings, balls and rings. From all aufpusten I was already really bad, for some reason were always the same Kids at a regular interval to me and asked me if I could help them because of their inflated water wings . Well ... then imagine it emerged that almost half of the water wings somewhere there was a hole where the air then escaped by and by. Somehow we made it then they all provide Kids with something that it should stay afloat and then it was already equal to the pool. The Kids had had a lot of fun and it was really really sweet if you could see how scared they initially when I single out the non-swimmers and took it with me ventured into the deeper waters, up to and then after self-confidence won and we could make the first Schwimmeübungen . In particular, I remember the scene when I moved the little Jampi on its rubber wheels, using tanks and he always Tio Walter and Tia Violetta called to give them full to show pride, while he was cutting through the Water rushes.

After 3 hours in the water and completely shriveled fingers, we moved to us, said goodbye to Tio Walter and then it went back to the orphanage.
A few days later, I again a group with the " Casa del Gringo" accompanied. From this trip I may even take some pictures:
