Gary flew home early on Monday morning. We started our day doing surveys in Old Town. We were there a few hours and then went back to the Hostel to have lunch. There is a corner store that has the basics that we need for sandwiches. We took time to discuss what each of us learned and tried to find a way to make the surveys flow a little more. They are 2 pages and we hope to condense them to one. At lunch, we also found out there will be a group of 50 senior citizens staying at the Hostel - they were making them dinner and I think they are getting nicer breakfast spread too! The good thing will be that it is quiet at night, the challenge will be to use the bathroom in the morning. Ugh! I knew getting up early with the young ones next door, would give me the time... Oh well, these are some of the silly challenges that one faces by staying in a Hostel. After lunch, we went out to the University near one of the community centers to do surveys and hand out flyers. Some did not want to talk with others, but we had a few very good conversations. Then we were off to dinner at Robert & Rachel's. When we arrived, there were 4 boys there to play with Eli and Josiah. It was interesting to observe the different personalities of the boys. We had chicken kebabs and rolls for dinner and the boys just hung out. Rachel got marshmellows for roasting and chocolate covered cookies for smores. Their intentions were not to have the boys friends there for marshmellow roasting, but they were not ready to leave... It was a good time, the boys went home, kids were put to bed and then we shared with Robert & Rachel about the surveys and we talked about some changes to surveys. We also started to plan how the discussion groups would start, the topics and direction they are to lead. I was tired and don't think I was the only one. So we got back late and I just went to bed.
