This morning I went back to the Colegio Salesiano to observe 4th Grade C again. It was cute, because I really haven't done anything there except sit and watch them from the back of the class and tell them the English word for camel (I'm not sure why all of them were asking me that, but I'm assuming it is the nickname of one of their friends and they want to tease him in English). But even though I've just been sitting there doing nothing, before they went out for P.E., Profesor Jorge said that a few of them wanted to say a few words. So they stood up at the front of class and told me that they hoped that I had enjoyed my time with them, and they were glad to have me. They wish me all the best and hope that I will return soon. One of them even made a card on the computer and printed it out to give to me along with a card with San Juan Bosco on it, the saint of the school. It was pretty adorable.
I watched them have P.E. for awhile, and then I headed out to go to class. My last class! Now I just have a few exams next week, a paper to email in, a Quechua composition to write, and a presentation to make. When I say it like that it kind of makes me nervous.
After class I met up with Hugo, Toni, Jessica, and Jorge to go to the Parque de las Leyendas (Park of the Legends) which is the zoo. It's right next to campus, and thats where the deer on campus came from. I guess they got loose one time and ended up just populating the campus. The zoo was pretty cool. We got to see some bears, penguins, a croc, a giraffe, zebras, and of course lots of llamas and their relatives. I saw on the news the other morning that there was a fresh baby goat there, but we didn't see him :( We did see some pretty cute monkeys though.
After the zoo I went with Mary to the market at 28 de Julio to do a little souvenir shopping. Then we stopped at a really nice bakery called Nova for some cake, and headed home.
