MAPA MUNDIAL!!!

so for the past...weeks we have been working on the project where the muni let us paint a world map in the front of the plaza...and today we just finally finished!!!!!!!!!
its sooo awesome and its huge! like 10 meters by 5 meters. and colorful and everything.

we started off just painting abig blue square and nobody wanted to help cuz nobody knew what we were doing. once we drew in the countries and started paiting everybody in town got to excited and started talking about it!

everytime wed paint we would get the kids and some adults to help us and everybody walking by would talk to us and ask us what we were doing.
its amazing how little the people here are exposed to sometimes.
we finished the map and some people still asked what it was. if it was a map of our country. and por eso is the reason we did the map. to help educate themabout the world.
but it was soooooooo cool getting to show somebody for the first time where their country is located in the world. haha very gratifying and satisfying.
but i will put a picture of it up on here sometime soon.!!
ahh soo cool...
