As you know, yesterday we finished building the stairs.  So now we're going to tell you about today!  First we had, as per usual, unbelievably delicious breakfasts with our home stay families.  Then all the boys wer late for our meeting (because they thought we were meeting an hour later than we actual were). After that, we all walked to the lake one last time, for the washing steps' opening ceremony.  Some of the Berkeley Carroll girls and Ms. Fogarty learned how to wash clothes on the steps and in the lake.  Then we walked back to the village and began painting murals on the library walls.  There was only one mishap--we splatter-painted a whole wall then decided we didn't like it because it was too much about Berkeley Carroll and not enough about our work together, so we repainted it. After lunch we painted a city and one building had the Indian flag and another building had an American flag, properly symbolizing the unity between Berkeley Carroll and Chinchoti. Meanwhile, people were painting designs and pictures on the other walls of the library.
For lunch we went back to our home stays.  Though we were dripping with paint, they once again fed us an amazing meal.  We then went back to the library and finished painting.  I'm sure all of your kids will show you pictures of the final walls.  Unfortunately, in this wonderful little village, there is terrible wifi.  And therefore you will not be provided with a picture tonight.  No worries, I'm sure you'll live till your kids come home.
After painting, the boys went to play cricket with their new friends from the village.  We then had a group meeting and journaling session.  All went well.  Now we're sitting in a room with our home stay and many of the kids from the village are chilling with us.  Walking in and out.  Dinner soon. Peace.
