Hi, how are ya?
An earlier start for us today, getting our lessons together for our classes. The classes started at 8 am and focused mainly on spelling and reading. We tirelessly worked through our lesson plans as well as picking up hordes of children for piggyback races. At break we introduced them to the birdy dance and the macarena which they repeated to us any time they could throughout the day. After that we merged our groups and decided to move on to more creative lessons which included spelling themed fortune tellers and other origami beyond our comprehension.
After school for about an hour we had an intense Coup (thanks Kate Cox!) and Uno session before 'strolling' through the streets of Kolkata. We walked for about an hour gaining...a few stares and then we got to Mother Teresa's orphanage. Amazingly, Emma got defecated on for the second time! When we arrived, we were amazed and entertained by all the kids living there, we didn't understand a single word they said and vice versa but it didn't matter to either of us as the fun we had didn't warrant the need for language. We made our way home back through the busy streets, where the top of Lily-Ann's flask flew off and was smashed to smithereens by a bus and two motorcycles.
We then got back we managed to spend ten minutes catching up with our friends in the yard, watching them playing football and admiring their skills that they clearly withheld when we played with them.
