Che is the word of the day... it is an expression used for "Hey!" or "Dude!" or the likes. It is a word that I haven't gotten to use yet, but I like hearing it.
Anyway, pictures are up on http://community.webshots.com/user/maryrk45 I have uploaded some for the past few days. I hope you get a chance to check them out.
Yesterday we went for a bike ride with all of the kids at La Obra. All of the kids were asked to bring their bikes, which obviously didn't happen. One girl came with a completely flat rear tire, and others rode on the cross bar with a partner. No helmets were worn and there were several falls, but it was a good time. The poor girl with a flat tire wanted to ride her bike anyway, so she did... and never complained, but I sure felt sorry for her, because she was always in the back of the pack. Yesterday morning I was told I explain math very well by one of the girls I was tutoring... and this is in Spanish, so that made my day.
Today we took the kids to a park and played with them. The music teacher brought her guitar and sang with the kids, it was a nice spring day and I only wore one sweater instead of my usual two and a jacket!

You sound like Mary Poppins or Maria in the "Sound of Music". I can't wait till the movie comes out, but untill then I will look at your pictures, or better yet picture you in my mind riding with the children.

Congratulations on getting to wear only one sweater! That's awesome. Sounds like the bike ride was very exciting. Those children are very blessed to have my sister as their tutor. I miss you!
