picnic

This past Sunday, all of the host families and trainees in our community got together for a picnic. It was organized by our madres. There was parilla (bbq), swimming, games, etc. It was really nice to have the families all come together. Our families, especially our mothers, don’t often get a chance to get out of the house and have some fun. So, it was a big to-do. All of the host mothers had a 3 hour meeting last week to plan the menu, the games (like tug-of-war Gringos vs. Peruvians), it was really cute! All of the gringos and families have really bonded with each other. It´s definitely going to be hard to leave these families when we go off to our sites.
