Wednesday – Friday March 21 – 23, 2007

Wednesday, Thursday and Friday went by quickly. On Wednesday and Thursday I just worked on the base. On Thursday one of my jobs was cleaning this grossly dirty house. I found a cockroach in there… I was not too overly happy about that! It wasn’t a huge one, but I still didn’t enjoy it’s presents.

Later in the afternoon I spent some time just sitting alone in the kitchen listening to my music. I was making pizza and I had to wait for the cheese to come so I just relaxed. It was nice to be able to just listen to my music and just be alone. Sadly I can’t really just play my music in the house. Every time I try it just gets drown out by someone else’s music.

As I was sitting in the kitchen I heard some yelling and commotion outside and I looked out the window to see five guys running around with ropes trying to lasso a bull! Two of the guys were actually professional cowboys! They were running around wearing cowboy hats and boots. It was quite entertaining. At first they were chasing after it with a quad and then they resorted to a horse. It took them about three hours to actually catch the bull… and they ran everywhere… even through the jungle.

On Friday morning we went out to the market and out for ice cream. We took all of the students who were working on the base and treated them. It was nice to go out. I actually got a little bit of colour that day!
