Dance Party!

Once we finished lunch we wanted to get to know the girls a bit more. We knew they enjoyed music and dancing so we suggested they teach us their traditional dance they had performed earlier. This was a big hit with Taylor and I doing our best to mimic the hip shaking maneuvers while keeping our upper body still.  The girls were doubling over in fits of laughter watching our efforts and instantly relaxed.  We all laughed and danced to the beat of the drumming.  Then Taylor provided more music on her phone to keep the party going.  After showing off our best moves and admiring the girls' talent we came together for a big group hug.  They were enthusiastic huggers! It was wonderful to see them smiling and laughing after being so quiet and serious at lunch.
I planned to upload some photos of our dancing but the Internet connection is not supporting uploading those.
After our dancing,  we went outside to take photos and have a tour of the school.  The girls were excited to show us their dormitory where the beds were stacked three high! They each have a trunk for their belongs but the rest of the "cubes" as they call them are shared space.
