Back to the school after breakfast, and on to more painting. The children started arriving and some remembered that they had been able to do some of the painting yesterday and began to ask to do it again. So of course we obliged. We're more than half way thru the project, so not sure what we will be able to do for the last day....on Friday. I guess the program manager here will figure something out. We were able to see more of the classrooms today...and as I said before they are functioning on a bare minimum. Not much in the way of the usual things you'd see in a similar school elsewhere in the western world.
After lunch we were taken on a tour of the area, and to the Fuentes Georginas hot springs near by high in the mountains, which come from the nearby volcano. The road there for several kilometers is lined with plots of land with a variety of cabbage,lettuce, onions, carrots etc, and a lot of it on some very steep land. The water at the springs in the largest pool was around 39 degrees centigrade...really hot to get into at first, and I didn't manage to stay in for more that 10 minutes, and so went to a slightly cooler one near by.
