We took the girls from the akha village swimming this morning & after we got crepes! We let three of the little boys come that didn't get to come to the dudes swim party yesterday. I didn't swim this time though. I just sat poolside & got some rays. While they were swimming Misa (one of the girls) gave me some bracelets to hold. Later when we dropped them off and were saying our goodbyes, before we drove off she ran over & gave me one of them. She is the sweetest. That took most of the morning & afternoon. We got a very short break, but not really, because during it Madison & I started cleaning out one of the trucks. Paint is ALL over the bed of the truck. It's oil paint so we have to use this intense paint thinner to get it off & it burns your hands if you're not wearing gloves. So yeah, not fun. We have a lot of cleaning to do tomorrow before we all head out. Anyways, we then made our way to Lahu. We taught aerobics & a tobacco/drug class. Ma & pa made us a going away/thank you dinner. It was really yummy! I'm not sure if we will see them again or not so we said our goodbyes just in case. It was really sad. It hasn't really hit me yet. But a few tears were shed.
