We went out today and met the group at the usual time. The groups worked out so that 6 of us were assigned to a far out territory, so we got to drive again! We were working with the brother and sister from Peru and 2 other brothers. We were squished into an SUV/van thing(Eric called it a van and the brother was terribly offended). (Apparently it's called a MPV, multi-person-vehicle. To me that's what every car is but oh well. -Eric) We drove all the way out to the territory, where the driver announced that he needed to go see his mother in the hospital, and he would see us later. That's fine, but when he left he took the car with him! O well, we've walked before. We spent all morning doing NH's, and because the list are turned in each day by different people there was some confusion. Add in the fact that street signs are only place in the most inconvenient location, we ended up doing the wrong numbers on the wrong streets. After lots of scribbling and head scratching we managed to somehow finish the list. Then we had the long walk back to town; it took over half an hour for the 5 of us to get back, but we did street witnessing and got to count the time. The whole way back she as making me talk to her in Spanish, boy I wish I was better. We stopped in at a Portuguese cafe for a light lunch, which was very good. Afterward we went home and watched the USA barely hang on for a draw with Slovenia. (The game was incredibly entertaining, maybe one of the best i have been able to see. -Eric) Then in the evening we went to John's flat to watch England play terrible and draw 0-0 against Algeria. We're finally starting to like watching soccer, a little more each time. And that brings us to now, almost 3 weeks into the trip and we're finally caught back up to current on the blog. Hope you've enjoyed it so far, and it should be better now since we will actually we talking about the current day. Cheerio!
