(This is part of the wall surrounding the Complejo and the garage type thing leading out of it, the garage thing is the blue doorway looking thing.) Today I have done most of the same things as yesterday.Something really wierd happened today, while I was walking to a class I saw a cat on the roof of the building!
For fun most of the students play soccer, or handball, which is a mix between soccer and basketball, they also play basketball and volleyball for fun as well. Some also go to movies with their friends on the weekends, some play paintball. The students here are not much different from the ones in America, the only difference is they speak spanish more fluently. The teachers teach most of the same stuff as they do at home. Though spanish is different and we are farther along in math. For english they are reading the Outsiders, which we have already read at home. In science they are learning something totally different from what we are learning. They are learning about chromosomes and the reproductive system and interphase, prophase, metaphase and some other things like that.
Today I also learned that pupusas, which is sort of like a tortilla, is the most famous food in El Salvador and the most liked. Pupusas are mostly made of beans and cheese. My friend, Bryce, once ate 16 of them a one after another. While on the subject of food, for lunch at Escuela American they serve french fries, hot dogs, some Chinese type noodles, pupusas, brownies, doughnuts, apples, differnt types of snacks, gatorade, apple juice, chicken sandwhiches, once they served subway, and some other good stuff.

Hey Pitt,
It all sounds wonderful. Do all the roofs have the clay tiles?

El Salvadore looks beautiful! The school sounds alot like ours, except the food seems better over there! Ha Ha! I went to Mexico this summer with my friend who is from there and it was awsome. You are lucky to visit a foreign country and get "hands on experience" instead of as a tourist. Eat it up!
