On Saturday, Kelsey, Melissa, Bridget, and I took a taxi to the market near the stadium. It was such a blast! It is only open on Fridays and Saturdays when the farmers come down from the mountain sides to sell their produce and meat. There was so much fresh food and the people were very polite. I never felt in danger or threatened. It is nothing like the market in Kinshasa, as you are not in danger of being run over by cars, people grabbing for your attention, or being hopelessly lost forever. I bought green beans, bananas, and some tomatoes.
In the afternoon, Keiko, Stacey, and I rode out to Santa Lucia to another teacher's birthday. These teachers live in a giant and very beautiful home with a green lawn in tiers on the side of a hill. It was so nice to be outside the city! There were many people to talk to and exchange stories with.
