After a rainy weekend with the families. Students resumed activities in Crandon on Monday. We welcomed Iiyanna and Rylie who joined the group on Tuesday. On Monday, students worked with a local artist to create puppet fingers that we will use tomorrow when we go to tell stories to young children at a day care center.
Yesterday, students drummed! We went to Tamborilearte, where Fernando, local musician, taught them how to play Candombe.
Everybody had a blast and they sounded pretty well actually! Here are some pics for you to enjoy.
Today we will go to City Hall, Mercado de los artesanos and we'll explore a little bit of the downtown area.
And special kudos to Ry and Iiyanna who got off the plane and decided to jump right into drumming (despite the long flight!!)
