|  | | Week Numero DOS | | | | | Week two...Lots to write. I for one am still enamoured with with place. After a week of teaching we spent the weekend exploring the country side and the City of Chalatenango. Although I am completely out of my element, I dont feel so far from home. Its weird...being in such a chaotic place like Chalatenango with all the beggars and businesses....I cant explain it...but I dont feel out of place... although I stand out. On leaving for El Salvador...I threw out a lot of things from home. Moving to a place for a month with people i barely knew gave me this sense of liberation. I can pick up and just go...and with that I didnt want to take any extra baggage. Leaving all my troubles at home my mind has been racing with new ideas and feelings.
Playing with the children everyday after work is so much fun. Its amazing how much love a child will give you if you just show them you care...even just a little bit. After a week we are getting little presents and tons of hugs. I dont understand why..but children just want to love. they dont see any of the impurities of a person.
I wish i didnt have such a negative view on myself. You realize running only causes things to chase you. Being here I am forced to face myself. I have so much time everyday in which i am alone. I am working on coming home a different and better person.
The people I am with are amazing. They have all live such interesting and beautiful lives. Listening and sharing it only adding more to every experience here in El Salvador.
Quick Update...Sat ngith we went to a dance in our little Village of Aldieta. hysterical....need i say more.
Sunday we went to the mountians and drove around all afternoon. Beautiful!
