Sunday and Monday!

Sunday was a relaxing day for us as a team.  We got to sleep in a little bit, which was a nice break from the early mornings, and then we got to go to church again!  We even recognized some of the songs this time (by the tune, of course).  Then we headed to lunch at an Asian restaurant.

After lunch some people took naps, others went to the pool with some Slovaks.  It was a good restful afternoon.

One of the exciting parts of the day was watching the Netherlands play Spain in the World Cup last night.  We went as a group and watched the game with a bunch of cheering Slovaks.  We played cards, drank Kofola (a local soft drink), and hooted and hollered...haha.  And I must say, GO SPAIN!!!! :)

Sunday came and went and today we headed to Sasova, a part of Banska Bystrica.  We were going to be cleaning up a kindergarten place for children and mothers of Sasova.  However, we were kind of pleasantly surprised ;)  We got to move a big mound of dirt on the kids' playground!  Shovels and picks were involved as we chipped away at the dirt, rocks, and concrete...it reminded us a little of Haiti!  But it was good, hard work, and we all pitched in.  We all were nice and sweaty afterwards.

Lunch came next, and now we have part of our group at the pool, and others resting.

Tomorrow some of us are going caving and some of us are going back to Sasova to play with kids in the park.  The trip is flying by!
