June 11th

We started the day by not sleeping in as we were suppose to… Some people blame me for this saying I am loud in the morning. I think everyone was so excited about the full day ahead they just could not sleep.

After finishing the normal morning stuff and packing a lunch, Renata, Tressa, Manny, and I all headed out to the depo. The depo is their storage area and it was full of stuff for camp and other things. We met two ladies, Mary and someone, who are the head mistresses at the international school. Mary had a truck. After some amazing packing we got everything onto the back of her truck or into our van. It was quite the feat and you all should be really proud.

We then drove to camp, about an hour and a half, and unloaded everything. We were then very ready for lunch. The owners of the pansiyons where we have Olive Grove made us a pot of chi to go with our lunch. They have a different type of tea pot here, they are two tea pots that sit on top of each other. The one on top is slightly smaller than the one on bottom. Then they make really strong tea in the top one with loose leafs and the bottom one has just hot water. Then you pour water and tea into your glass vase shaped cup to the desired strength.

After we finished lunch Renata let Tressa, Manny, and I go swimming in the Sea while she took care of some business with the pansiyon owners. It was amazing and very refreshing after having moved all of the camp stuff.

We then headed back to town and stopped at the boat motor place to leave the motor to be checked out. We then went to the printers and picked up all the material for the councilors booklets. After this we dropped Tressa off at her bus stop and went home.

After a great dinner, we created a bag build and put together all the councilor booklets. We then got some ice cream and watched an episode of Alias and collapsed in bed.

The tea pots sounds interesting. I'd love to send you some $ or whatever you spend over there to pick one up. LOL
