Hello world :) so sorry that i didn't post anything last night.  I had a very quiet day.  Went with my new roommate and a couple other people to the Hope Center.  But when we got there we heard music coming from the next building.  I of course was intrigued.  It was definitly live music and i wanted to find out who and where so i could listen.  We wandered around for a bit and eventually found these guys practicing.  We took some picutres, but of course my camera is dead and Clinton took the picutres.  Hopefully I will get them from him today and then you will see where these guys practiced.  It was really crazy! they had no music, no director, and no end to the song! we watched them play for like half an hour and they never stopped.  Another weird thing they did was switch instruments all the time.  One guy got a phone call and so he handed his trumpet to a guy standing next to him who immediately picked up from where the first guy was.  Really strange.  Totally amazing to watch though! After their practice we talked to them and they offered to come play on the ship which i think would be totally awesome! I'm not sure who i have to talk to about it but i definitely want to try to work that out.
We finally went to the Hope Center and taught the kids the Hokey Pokey.  They loved it!
Those two things were definitely the best part of my day
