Frutal

Today was a great day, we were treated like celebrities. My day started when I read about us in the paper. We were on the front page right in the center of the newspaper was a picture of our team. It was great! Our first stop was a house that was donated to the government as a church and a music center where the children can learn to play various instruments. From there we visited the "Down town." We went to a store where everything was made here in the city, then to a store where everything has been exported from Europe and Asia. The highlight of the downtown was definately the Serveteria, the ice cream shop.

The next place they took us was to meet the mayor, assitant mayor and the city councel president. After talking to them for an hour or so, we took photos and I was interviewed for the radio, which aired today. Then we went back to our houses and ate lunch. My lunch was really good, it was close to "Fritanga." It was rice and beans matrimonio (married, because I mixed them together), cheese and tortillias (different from quesadilla, but really good), meat, bananas fritos, and of course more ice cream to finish out the meal right.

After lunch we went the old City Hall that is now a museum and library, we took a tour of Josney's college, and then went the the Catholic church Matriz. At 8:00 we had another presentation, that went good. It was a fun day, and everybody knew who we were, everywhere we went, because of the newspaper and radio.
