The students in the high school here really get along well and one of the main reasons for that is the Annual Back to School Beach Trip. They left this morning- all 78 of them- for a weekend at the beach. The Senior class goes down a day early and gets all the tents set up and campfire pits dug and then the rest of the kids follow. They have a spectacular time of hanging out, snorkeling, swimming and talking while they stroll along the shoreline. They come back with a newfound appreciation of each other and rekindled friendships. And for the first time ever, all of our hostel kids are in high school –therefore they are all on beach trip. So it is just us here. That is nice every once in awhile.
We actually had a very crazy night instead of just relaxing. We had some friends over to celebrate their little boy turning one. It is hard to have people over when the hostel is all here so we often use these down times to entertain.
This week we got two new kitties. They have been a very comical addition to the family. They are very lively with each other and sweet with the kids. And because timing is often such a funny thing, we also have a mother bird that has built her nest in our laundry gudang and two baby birds have hatched. Two new kittens…two baby birds…we will see what happens there.
Love you
Rachel
