Short update...

Hey Hey Hey! Just me again, thought I would take a little time to write a short update today, before I head to work in a little while. There are lots more volunteers just now with 5 arriving over the weekend incuding my two friends that I met over Facebook, and still more to come, although 3 are leaving in the next couple of days! It will be really sad to see them go, and they all say it will be agony leaving the kids, I am not looking forward to saying goodbye to them myself!

Anyway, now that there are more volunteers around, we have a set rota which we organise each week, allowing everybody to choose their fair share of shifts (now only a short 4 hours compared to 5 hours before!), so today I am in at 1 until 5, whereas most other days I do 3.30 until 7.30. As you can tell, this makes for a lot of free time which is really nice for us all! Though I think during my last few days I will try to go in lots to see all the children before I leave, especially those favourites you cant help yourself from having! (By the by, mine are Jonathon, Alejandro, Lucy and Judy!) It really is very hard not to form favourites here and to become really attached to the kids, so I cant imagine what it will be like once it is time to go!

With all this time off it is good that Puerto Vallarta offers so much! There is plenty of culture around to be seen, with music played constantly everywhere, and artwork often on display and for sale down near the beachfront. Although this is often swamped in tourist attractions, which I have to admit are fun as well! I have already been parasailing here and also plan to take a trip on the pirate boat, which runs daily with all inclusive food and drinks, an acrobatic show and fireworks following the beautiful sunsets here. Well that is about all I have to say for now... Speak soon! Fi.

PS. The weather definitely got better!! Mon the sunshine!
