As some of you know, I was at one time a pilot. Many years ago my desire was to be a commercial pilot. Tonight, I relived my past with a man that is becoming a friend. His daughter has been attending the youth meetings that we have organized since the english camp. We are enjoying getting to know their family. He likes planes, too and tonight we uploaded Flight Simulator X and started flying. I'm quite impressed with how realistic everything is. Before the "fake flying" by computer simulator, the group of youth had fun playing some games involving toilet paper (called "hygenic paper" here in Mexico). The bottom photo is of one of the girls being turned into a toilet paper mummy. It was supposed to be surprisingly constrictive if you wind enough layers but this girl broke free quite easily. We're learning more Spanish each day. Sometimes words just get tucked away in your brain and later roll off your tongue in the wrong place. We just realized that "consejo" and "conejo" sound very similar in Spanish but the first means "advice" and the second, "rabbit." Explaining the game of Chubby Bunny (adding one marshmallow at a time to your mouth until you can't say Chubby Bunny anymore) ended up sounding like Fat Advice. Oops! We're just going to celebrate that we could pronounce both of those words and enjoy having laughed with new friends.
