The school still has lots of students even though it is almost Christmas. There are even more fire crackers going off than usual, even at the school. It is the tradition here. Christmas Eve is the big thing here as opposed to the day after. The prime time is around midnight. Tomorrow some of the students are having a party with everyone bringing a dish to eat, and there will also be a silly gift exchange. The family I'm staying with won't be around so it won't be too exciting staying around there. At the end of last week and yesterday we had a graduation party for the students that were finishing. We all had to form groups and make a dish for the lunch. Last weeks theme was pasta, this week was salads. We also had a gift exchange between students and teachers. Last week I went to a natural sauna nearby in a place called Zunil. Actually the steam was natural, but the room was just a normal sauna room. It was probably the hottest sauna I've ever been in. I only needed a few minutes in there to be well cooked. A lot more humid than the steam room at the Cranbrook Rec Plex!! Today I participated with some of the other students in painting the outside of a daycare. Last time it was the inside.
Hope everyone is well and happy at Christmas!
Adios! Matthew
