Today was our last day teaching at the air force school. The theme of the lesson was American food and dance. When we got into our teaching groups to discuss the topic, we made a list of potential talking points. Here is what we came up with: hamburgers, hotdogs, mac n' cheese, and the hokey pokey. Yikes! Not much to work with. "It'll be okay," we naively thought. "We can google pictures of food, everyone likes looking at food," we thought. We also weren't necessarily too worried about needing to teach for the whole hour allotted to our class. Given Lima's traffic, we had been getting to the school later than expected and were teaching for 20 minutes or so.
But of course... today was the first day we got to the school on time!! So after talking at the kids about America's extensive menu without photoswe had no other choice but to do the hokey pokey for..too long. The kids favorite body part to throw into the circle was of corse the butt. Many of the little boys proceeded to twerk and crump into the circle. The girls weren't having it.
Because it was our last day at the school, 10x the amount of the usual selfies were taken. We also had a small ceremony with the director of the school! I was lucky enough not to trip during high school graduation, but somehow I managed to bump into a lot of chairs/backpacks/feet as I walked 10ft to receive my certificate.
After school, some friends and I went to a restaurant in downtown Miraflores for Ceviche! It was very squishy!
