We have survived Carnival...a crazy, few-month long holiday celebrated throughout the entire city by throwing water balloons, using squirt guns, and hosing down strangers. I've been nailed several times in the back, head, chest, and legs by 11-year-olds to grown men. During the last day or 2, the streets are overrun with people carrying supersoakers, bags of water balloons, and gangs of soaking sensations! Since it's based in pagan tradition (for cleansing and fertility, etc.), the center hosted an overnight camp during the last 2 days of Carnival. We did Bible study, played volleyball, did relay races, ate meals, and had a huge water fight!
Here's Nicol with her loaded watergun and pack ready for action! Joana, the girl I work with in Kinder Kids, is soaked...along with the rest of us!
On Sunday, my friends Katie and Craig went hiking with me up a rocky gorge/river bed. It was so fun to climb and swim under waterfalls.
And, of course, playing soccer at the cancha with the Frutillar kids is always fun. Papi gets excited and comes with to watch, play, and cheer too.
Here is Papi with Ariel, Frankie, Johnnie, and Vivi.
