WEDNESDAY NIGHT!


So it's Aaron again, a.k.a. Big Dog (more on that later),
After lunch today, we prepared for the VBS packets that we are handing out tomorrow. We worked together to prepare the craft and then we formed an assembly line to make the bags for the snacks.
Tonight for dinner we went to a polish place called Polish Village Cafe. As we walked downstairs to the main part of the restaurant, you could feel the vibe: awesomeness. As I was browsing the menu and saw the word "kielbasa", my Hungarian blood started rushing through me. Kielbasa, sauerkraut,
mashed potatoes, green beans, and a soup of choice; and one caught my interest: "duck blood soup." I tasted it, and that's as far as I got. I had a couple sips, and it became too strong. The rest of the food was amazing. We also had pierogis, which were good.
After we scarfed down all that food, we went to the park. We thought there would only be a few people and we would have to ask people if they wanted to join, but we couldn't be more wrong. It was so crowded and we had to ask if we could join in games. Jack and Carlton got in games of soccer and did okay, despite being way overmatched. Everyone else was so much bigger and better, I'm proud of them they did so well.
Then it came to the main games. Payton, Brooklyn, Jack, and I got in a game of volleyball and it was super fun. We were probably playing for like an hour. Everyone else welcomed us in really well and we started to fit in well. A little while into playing, we earned our street cred and got nicknames. Me (Big Dog) and Jack (Little Dog) got going together. Along with Payton, Brooklyn, and this really awesome guy we met named Omar, we won like 4 games in a row and it was really
fun.
One thing that was interesting though, as we were walking back to our car, we walked past a skinny white Christian speaking fluent Arabic and having a theological argument with a group of muslims, and it was starting to get heated. But it was really interesting to see that.
On to the next day,

Peace
