 |
| Caedmon and Papa |

| Whitman & Grammy |
 |
| We visited a local forest full of monkeys |
 |
| the monkeys where everywhere |
 |
| they were pretty tame and very bold, especially if you had food |
 |
| even without food, if you stopped, you just might find a monkey on your shoulder |
 |
| Caedmon joined some local musicians |
 |
| chillin in the hotel while enjoying treats from the States |
 |
| amazing balancing while at the beach |
 |
| our beach wear versus her beach wear, guess who will swim? |
 |
| more pool time |
 |
| ice cream at the pool, what else could a little boy want |
 |
| Lost in translation: the small sign on the edge says 'no diving' in English, we assumed this literally meant no diving. We shortly found out it is meant to communicate 'no jumping from the edge.' |
We returned to our home town, with Jack and Melinda, feeling refreshed and motivated to continue working hard. We were even motivated to change some of our methods for language and culture learning, specifically in spending more time with locals (more on our progress in this area later).
