so the room is packed, and we leave in less than 24 hours. :)

We have had a wind down time these past couple days. Grades are in, final evaluations have been done and yes, the bags have been packed. I am busting proud of all the girls and the weight of our bags. I will let you guys guess how much they weigh.

This afternoon Becca planned some team times for us. After our Indonesian lesson, we were to meet in the laneway at 1:30. The sunshine was high in the sky, summer is coming (and we are leaving)! Becca asked us to go into the front lawn and partner up. Then she proceded to blind-fold one of us and give the visionary free reign to dress the blind mouse in any outfit of Salvo clothes (salvo bin is a place for people to put their clothes in when they don't want them anymore, in other words, a treasure box). It was then our goal to lead the person down the bike path to the river, just by the leading of our voice. I dressed Connie in a yellow towel fabric dress. I think it is something that you would slip into after you had showered. Not so attractive. I then fashioned a stretchy cloth into a mini tube top. Since her sunglasses hid her blindfold, she looked pretty goofy meandering down the bike path like a lost child. After the swap, Connie saw what she was wearing and let out a shriek. We were inside a tunnel. Afterwards we swapped and Connie made sure to run me into a couple bushes, off the bike path and into the opposite traffic. Bikes much?

Tonight we are headed over to Becca's house for tea.

Our last hours at the base are slipping away...I am really excited to go!
