Day 3:Gvozd

Today we were soppused to have a full day of work. But the rain had other plans. It started raining last night and rained ALL day long. So, we didn't have to go out gardening this morning:). But I didn't hear anyone complaining about that. We spent the afternoon at the Duncokret center. We got to meet a few of the kids...not many because aparently they don't like to come out in the rain. Everything has preety much turned to mud. It's kinda crazy, but fun! Just be prepared for me to gone home with terribly muddy shoes and clothes! They'll be real fun to wash!!!
The kids here are amazing. They no English so well that you can barely here they have an accent at all.
They are really fun to play with too. We have made plans for the rest of the week and have arts and crafts and stuff set up for them.
We will spend the rest of the next week and half working in the orchard from 10-2 and working with the kids from 2-7. Ofciurse lunch is somewhere in between. We are all assigned tasks each day which we know from the chart. My group has cooking duty tommorow and we are going to attempt and get up by 7:30 and get everything ready. We actually have decent food because we get to cook it.
Today we went to the market and got some candy and cookies and snacks. Luckily they broke my 500 Kn and one of the kids from Suncokret came along and helped translate.
Foreign countries are cool. The only thing I really miss is my computer and full cell phone use. Oh, and a full bathroom and clean feet!! Which will not happen for the next 2 weeks because the showers are like the ones from a riding place back home.
Ohhh and one of the girls from last years ISV program came last night and was telling us all about the adventure tour today. It sounds awesome! She said you also got to go either sky diving or paragliding if you paid like 50$ extra. So, I would do be doing the sky diving! She also added that 6 people ended up in the emergency room on her tour. One crashed their bike of a clif and one fell and busted up a knee. It sounds interesting. But she did add that it was a record for ISV. But she said that the tour was amazing and definetely worth the amount of money spent on the trip!
