A Quick Update

Just a quick update to keep your appetites sated.

I started Community Service last week, which went well. I was greeted by gasps of awe upon entering the room. Seconds later one of the kids would stand up and point saying, "he's gigantic!" That was pretty cool. A little while later one of the kids decided to get out of his chair, run over and hug my leg. Prompted by the enthusiasm I picked the kid up for a second, for some reason every small child loves being lifted overhead. Of course I spent the next fifteen minutes picking up the rest of the little kids.

I'm big over here, but not giant, but I must be to a small child. Most of the time that was supposed to be spent in small groups doing something structured I just played with the kids. Two in particular were quite animated. Franco, the one who initially stood up and yelled, and Agustin. Highlights: Franco giving me a drawing of the two of us, complete with my horns and all, and for some reason Agustin smelling my leg "Huele muy bien!"

They're about what you would expect from a group of 5 year olds, fun but a lot of work.

I trained a few more times with the soccer team, 3 total now, although only twice with a ball. I'm looking forward to getting into the squad, and I'm officially part of the team now. The game this weekend was a lot of fun and we won 6-2. Picture of me in the uniform(note the size) attached. Pictures from the beach still coming in the future.

As for today, Sunday, I went and got a helado before meeting some friends on the beach. We played a bit of volleyball and hung out for the sunset and what not. I stopped by a Chivito(sandwich with steak, ham, bacon, egg, lettuce, pepper, tomato) place that always smells really good on the way home. It was a religious experience. I think I will try and take the camera next time I go.
