We didn't do anything spectacular or out of the ordinary this weekend but we had a lot of fun. We started playing marbles because the kids here in Trujillo taught me and so I thought that I would be able to beat the kids in Pacasmayo because I never once saw them play in all the time I was there. But I was wrong, I think Peruvian boys are born with the ability to play with tops and marbles. They all brought out their marbles which I had no idea they had and proceeded started to school me.
Right now I'm back safe in Trujillo and looking forward to starting this week of my new routine. Getting back from Pacasmayo took a little longer than I hoped because the bus line that I wanted to take didn't have any
tickets so I took a different one that ends up on the wrong side of Trujillo. So I had to wonder around Trujillo for awhile trying to find the right "mico" to arrive to the orphanage. Next week I will make sure to get my bus ticket early and it should save me some time.
I just thought of this but its really funny so I decided to come back and edit it in. I've got the boys at the Pacasmayo orphanage playing the safety/doorknob game. You know the game where if you fart you have to call safety before someone else calls doorknob and if you don't call safety first then you have to run to a doorknob and touch it all the while you are free game for anyone to punch you as hard as they want. That has been a great source of entertainment as of late and has caused a lot of epic battles, as well as strangely increased the amount of gas passed or at least increased the amount of known gas passed. My favorite doorknob call so far has been on Gerson. This morning he was still half asleep in his bed and he let one fly, he was fully awakened by his little brother Joel yelling "puerta" at him and punching him awake.

HILARIOUS! How did you remember that game?! And that's so gross. I KNEW there would be an increase in passed gas. Those kids love you to pieces, Kev!
I was thinking the same thing.. so gross and funny at the same time! Only boys! Bella says hi and she misses you!
In all the time you've been there, it's crazy that you didn't know about the marbles. and... I'm sure the house mothers love the new game! I think they will probably tell them that they can only play that when you are there. Funny AND gross! ps. They ARE awesome with tops.
Hey Kevin! Having fun with your parents. Your mom is schooling us in espanol :)
Glad you had a great weekend with the kids Kevin! Of course they are good at marbles! They are good at the most random things ever! ha ha!
That is hilarious about Gerson and Joel! They totally would! Glad they are being boys and having fun!
Wow....2 orphanages to keep up with now, that is a lot. Are you starting to bond with the new orphanage kids? I am sure that is a tough process. I truthfully never knew how the doorknob game work fully...glad you explained it for me:) You do a good job with those boys. You are in our prayers
This made me smile. So funny they "hustled" you in marbles. The most simple things, like your game, show kids you love them. You're a good man Kevin. We keep you in our prayers.
