Yesterday I spent the morning washing my clothes (not fun!!). After I finished, I went to the internet for awhile until I received a text message from a woman in the community saying she had found me a house. I went to check it out. It is a fixer-up, but I like it. It desperately needs to be scrubbed and painted, but I think it could be livable. It has a little garden, which I like. And I already know some of the neighbors. It is also attached to the owners’ house, but is completely separate. I like this because I can have my privacy, but also be close by people if I need anyone. A quick bang on the wall and people will come running to help me. I’m going to go talk to the owner again today to discuss the details. Keep you fingers crossed for me!
In the afternoon, I walked through Machala looking for paint stores and a small little table for the library. I want to paint the library with some of the leftover money that the previous volunteer raised. I am thinking of having it painted light blue with Carolina blue accents. Gotta bring a little UNC to Ecuador!!
After dance class, a few of us volunteers in the area met up at one of the house and we made cupcakes and brownies, watched a Spice Girls DVD (to get inspired for Halloween), and had a dance party. I felt like a teenager at a slumber party again. It was sooo much fun!!
