It was nice to go outside the campus today. The weaving coop we visited was interesting - lots of fabulous, intricate, elaborate items, and a great story of where they came from. The afternoon was full of prep for the week, but a half hour nap felt good. We drove into Antigua town center, I found I am not fluent enough to order food without getting an extra hamburgese (not recommended), half of us went to a grocery store, got ice cream, found pants for Callista, and browsed a cool jade jewelry store, and the other half went to Mass at the cathedral. Our liaison Renato brought his family's dog to campus, so the kids all got their puppy fix and can resist petting flea-ridden strays. A mild thunderstorm is passing through this evening, almost a daily occurrence during rainy season, and exhaustion from our early flight is catching up to everyone. I think my favorite observation so far is I haven't even seen a mosquito yet, but Kiersten was trapped in her room by a cricket on the doorknob.
