Kirsty and I walked down the mountain today, which I haven’t done in a few weeks so it felt good to get that exercise and spend that time chatting with Kirsty as well. We arrived in town and desperately needed to go to the bank because we didn’t have money. We were close to the bank when Gustavo, a mototaxi driver we know, pulls up and asked where we were going and was like Vamos. So we got a free ride the rest of the way to the bank. Apparently everyone needed money or got paid on Friday because the bank was SO busy. We got to the bank at 11 and it closes at 11:30. We waited and waited and finally got out of the bank after 45 minutes. They only had two tellers instead of three, which didn’t help things. We kept seeing people we knew at the bank, too so every 10 minutes we’d turn around and there’d be our neighbor, or another teacher from school, or someone else we knew.
After the bank I headed to Guancascos and stayed there for quite a while for internet and lunch. Late in the afternoon, Kirsty and I went to get things for our kids for our prize boxes for good behavior. Some of my kids will be getting 10 stars soon so I needed to get some prizes for them. I bought things like pencils and erasers, stickers, markers, mainly school things; I also bought some things for when kids get twenty stars. It was also Doble Saldo for Digicel, which never happens. This means if you put 100 Lemps on your phone, you’ll get 200 Lemps. They match what you put on your phone, which is great; Tigo (another phone company)does this often, but I don’t think Digicel does often. So Kirsty and I put some money on our phones to take advantage of that deal. We went to get popsicles while we waited for our mototaxi ride back home. I was the only one home for a while, so I just did some things around the house, had dinner and then the rest of the girls came back from town. We had a great night just chatting and listening to comedy on our computers.
