Capenray school

We arrived at the Capenray school after a very long cab ride through the mountains and valleys. Miranda and Colton were feeling a little car sick half way through. I know that Don and Ang can attest to the very hilly country side that can very easily make you car sick.
As we pulled up to the school we were very surprised at the beautiful grounds. It has a very different feel to it than the YWAM base. This is very manicured and pretty. They have coy pond and flower beds that are amazing with every kind of flower that you could imagine. They have a huge kitchen and dining hall. It differs a little to the kitchen at YWAM. Where we scared out a huge rat from in the kitchen when we cooked the chili for them.YUCK! It is amazing how you can just go with the flow sometimes. I thought I was doing well with mice but I even surprised myself at how I could step foot into the building after that , but I did.
So when we pulled into this place it felt like a 5 star resort. All day today we walked around the grounds feeling like a rich family that owns a property in a different country. Because there was no one around all day but the people who work here and a small travelling singing group. But with a little imagination it felt like it was all ours and we were alone with our own private band.
Today we had off from work so we went for a walk to the marcado(fruit market).It was a 2 mile walk through the mountains but we took our time and stopped at a , well o.k. 2 bakeries on the way. We bought mango's,2 pineapples, bananas, grapefruit, blackberries, and the ingr. for fresh salsa. We took the bus back and started on the salsa. They said to make ourselves at home, so we have free access to the kitchen and we took advantage of that. After lunch we went for a walk in the other direction and found a grocery store and bought some nacho chips for the salsa. Wow was that worth the walk. We had the best afternoon snack today. I love fresh fruit and salsa!
Before supper Colton was dreaming of a hamburger for supper. It was so funny. Dean told him that we probably wouldn't be having hamburgers here because it is a lot of work and money to make hamburgers for a big group. But wouldn't you know it. They made us burgers. Colton was in heaven. Then to top it all off Miranda actually ate a hamburger. This was the first time she had ever agreed to eat a burger or a sandwich for that matter. What a day. We are all growing in leaps and bounds.
There is a little fish pond on the property and they said Dean and Colton could try fishing. They tried but they need to get some bait. The hooks they had didn't work. But it was fun for a bit to try.
There are two families from the U.S. that live on the base. They each have 3 young girls. So Miranda had fun all afternoon riding bike, picking flowers and playing with the bunnies (Yes, they have bunnies and baby ducks!).
