We woke up bright and early this morning at 7:00 and ate some breakfast which consisted of Zucarita's which is Colombia's form of Frosted Flakes. It was also Antonio's birthday and we celebrated that at midnight the night before when we all wished him a Happy Birthday. We were told we were heading to a tour in a close city about 30 minutes away but we ended up at a Paintball Place as a surprise for Antonio's birthday. We played around 6 rounds of paint ball and my team was the winning team more times than not. After that we went to the mall like our previous plans. Liam and I bought pants because no one in Colombia wears shorts and neither of us brought a pair. We need them for a future event that we do not know about yet. At the mall there was a flower festival that has been taking place since 1957. There were giant floating flowers that were shaped like butterflies and an amazing amount of flowers covering the ground.
Next we went to the Orphanage and we played many games. We played soccer and another game that required a lot of communication skills. The kids also had a chocolate cake for Antonio and all sang and celebrated with us. At night we went to a burger restaurant and ate delicious hamburgers with live entertainment from the owner himself. Also we had fantastic attempts at Spanish Karaoke. . After we had his second cake and sang happy birthday for Antonio for the 3rd time and then started the drive home. We ended up getting back to the house around 10 at night and we were all extremely exhausted.
HOT water is working.
