Day four, the sun is shinning and it’s hot, we head to a place called Ines Chambers. We head over to Ines Chambers and this place, like Padre Pio, it’s in a rough part of town. We arrive there and go on a tour of the facilities we see some of the classrooms, their dinning facility, their outdoor play area, and there computer lab. After the tour they say we can either help strip the paint off the wall or play with the kids. Everyone just wants to help so we all jump into helping strip the wall however I realize that all the kids are just standing there watching us sand paper this wall so I decide to go play with so of the kids. I didn’t realize how big soccer was going to be but when we pulled out the soccer ball kids came running from every direction. We played a game of soccer and I played one of the kids in one on one and he kicked my butt 6-3. All the kids could play big-small, boy-girl, tall-short, old and young, that was a real surprise to me, because I haven’t ever seen a sport where EVERYONE can play and is better than average. After that we played a game of basketball with more people and everyone had a good time. Then we stopped and went inside to make necklaces and bracelets. It happened to be one of the girls birthday so we all went and sung happy birthday to her and ate some cake. As we leave we take some pictures and head back to the hotel. When we get back to the hotel we head to a local internet café and notice that the people their use the internet for the exact same thing Americans do, to download music and chat with friends. Guayaquil has a lot of people and during the day the sidewalks are packed with people. We get some dinner for $2(sub and a drink) then head to the hotel we meet and learn a little Spanish and afterwards we walk around the city.
