Monday and Tuesday were good days. We didn't do much, but tried to start a schedule to work out and eat well. On Monday we actually went to Cotoca with the manager's two sons. Cotoca is in the outer skirts of Santa Cruz and it's one of the poorest areas in the city. The manager's son had served his mission in Santa Cruz so we went to one of his old areas. We first went to this place called Parque Fantasia. It was really fun. There was no one there. Only six dogs who kept following us and a horse randomly there. There were all these miniature versions of houses and such and even a mini-version of the statue of liberty. I really should post pictures up, I'll get on that, promise. There was also a zip-line! We hoped it was safe and got on it. So much fun!
Tuesday we went to the center, found out one of the employment specialists did not notice his stake of our workshops and now we are teaching a three-day workshop this week! Let's hope it goes well. We are pumped, excited, and nervous. There will be more people today and most of them will probably be older. So we'll have to explain things as simple as possible. Today, we finished preparing for the workshops and we'll go to the center later today for a bit. We're getting picked up for the workshops and getting picked up to go home afterwards. Wish us luck!
