We had a pretty interesting week at school. On Thursday we got to school and found that we didn't have electricity, not a big shock, that happens once in a while. Usually the electricity goes out, and then comes back within an hour. On Thursday, we had to spend 3 hours trying to teach our kids in a room with no lights ( not even windows) and no air conditioning. It was not fun. Everyone was so miserable in the heat. Thankfully the electricity eventually came back on. Friday was Dr. Seuss' birthday. Kelly and I did several activities throughout the week to celebrate it. For some reason, we even decided to make all our students cupcakes with little cookie hats on top. It was actually pretty fun, and the kids loved them! They all made Dr. Seuss hats too! Notice, Kelly and I had to make our own Dr. Seuss hats too!!
After school on Friday, we went to this new restaurant close to our house, to meet up with several teachers. They had great food there. Lots of typical Puerto Rican food ( all fried of course!) We had such a good time. We planned on going for an hour, but stayed for about four hours. The teachers here are a blast to hang out with!! ( I forgot my camera)
On Saturday, Brent and I ventured out to find Jobos Bay. We have tried to find this place several times, but never had any luck. Well we did find it Saturday. It is a bay that is covered with mangroves. It is a good place to go hiking and see manatees!
Today we are doing the usually Sunday things; cleaning, laundry, shopping, and school work. We are going to have a busy week showing Jodi as much of Puerto Rico as we can. It should be a good time. Have a great week!

Kate - the reason we made the cupcakes is because we are gluttons for punishment!
