somewhere.  Problem was everyone apparently was napping at that time and so what every we were going to do today got changed.  I am still a little confused on what exactly was going on but all well on to what we did do.  After everyone eat we left to go to a school. This is not the same school I have been teaching at but rather one that is a bit further away.  This school is for the poorest of the poor.  Not everything was set up when we arrived so they had me sit in the shade till they were ready.  The kids came out of the classrooms to sit on the ground of the courtyard.  The principal (or at least I think he was the principal) said a few
