A Wild Day

So it’s already Saturday here in beautiful Guatemala. Today we went to a zoo with the children of the Nuevo Reto orphanage. We saw some amazing animals there, ones you don’t normally see in America, such as elephants, zebras, pumas, leopards, and some exotic snakes. The children, of various ages seemed very appreciative afterwards. After we returned to their orphanage, the minister of the orphanage gave out thank-you gifts to our team. It was very heart-warming when we gave out the bags of goodies for all the children. After such a big day, it was a relief to come back to such a warm and very well lighted (sarcasm) after the electric went out for about 30 minutes. We wasted the time by singing and making bracelets. Now it’s about 10:15 and the men are playing their little pointless card game, and the writer, Alex Eby, is about ready to go to bed.
