Today was a perfect Carolina fall day - sunny and about 63 degrees. I wish every day could be as pretty as today!
The Cabo students began their day by attending a science class at CCDS. The plan was to dissect sheep eye balls, but Regina decided that was too gross for her - so she went to the library. I'm sure I would have done the same thing if I had been there too.
Next they went to Lakewood Preschool - which is a local school whose students speak mainly Spanish. They played with the 3 & 4 year old children, read stories to them and made musical instruments with them. Regina said she enjoyed being with the children and that they were really cute.
The CCDS students joined the group for lunch at a local "Mexican" restaurant called Chipotle. The food was good and I learned (from Charo and Chia) that all American restaurants that call themselves "Mexican" are not proper Mexican Restaurants, but rather Americanized versions. I'm confident the real thing is far better than the American imitation!
After lunch we all walked to to great place called "No Fuss Meals". It is a place where you go to make meals/dinners. The best part is that all the prep work has been done for you. All you have to do is follow the step-by-step directions and basically put it all together. Simple and delicious. Morgan and Regina made 2 dinners for us - Shrimp Stir-Fry and Stuffed Pork Chops. We had the pork chops tonight and they were really good!
The afternoon was spent playing outside with some of the neighborhood kids. The "motorized buggy" contraption was improved upon and expanded. The imagination of 12 year olds is amazing:) This was a really fun day.
