Sabado in Granada



More relaxing day today. What a joy it was to give away some of your donations to our cleaning lady and her 2 grandchildren! The children`s mother was murdered when the kids were babies and they have been raised by grandma, the sole money earner in her family, which means that they live on $100 a month.They were so excited to get clothes, a nerf football, barbies, a notebook, a paint set and stickers. They kids are helping to teach us Spanish.We also went to market with my host mother(that`s her with me). We held on tight to our belongings. Very exciting! While we were walking to the pool, we got poured on!!!! We didn`t care because it had been so hot and humid that sweat was pouring off my face! We had fresh squeezed lemonade at the pool(my new favourite drink) and a refreshing swim!
