Opening

Yesterday we had the first opening's day of the school, and this afternoon the second. The Mayor and mayoress came: two women, so why the one is called mayor, and her sister mayoress wasn't clear. I think I will have to have a word with my sisters...

There were quite a few people present, which was really nice! People had the opportunity to walk around the school, and have a look at various things. There was a puppet show in Spanish, art, and learning center as well...

After a time of singing, prayers etc, where the children sang something, and recited the verses they are learning for this month, the mayor and mayoress arrived. We all went outside, and watched the mayor plant a tree..... We wondered whether you have to do a gardening course, once you become a mayor...?

We left quite soon after, and spent the evening with the Cholefko's, which meant we were home at a crazy time.... But it was really nice to spend some time with them, and talk about all sorts of things, most of all of course the prospect of having the school up and running in January...

Any way, this afternoon we hope to go again to the school. Richard isn't coming, which means that Jan has no choice but to come...! Tineke iscoming as well, so I hope the weather stays as it is now. No snow or ice or anything like that!
