A few weeks ago, we decided it was time for a Comedor field trip. Our friend, Jorge, offered to let us bring the whole Comedor crowd over to his farm for the day. He came by the Comedor with a giant flat bed truck at 7:30 am and the Comedor kids, their siblings, moms and a few others from the Nueva San Diego neighborhood piled in. We brought cereal and bananas and Jorge donated us milk from his cows for breakfast upon arrival at the farm. Then we set off for a long hike through the hills on the farm. The kids had a great time exploring and the moms were able to relax for the day. We had catrachos for lunch, followed by horseback riding. Then Pati and I took the kids on rides around the farm on a quad.
We got back to Talanga in late afternoon after a full day at the farm. Most of the kids have never had the chance to leave Talanga... some have hardly left their neighborhood, Neuva San Diego. They had a blast slidding down hills, checking out the cows (especially the babies), riding horses and quads and just having the space and the permission to run wild. The moms seemed to have an equally good time, relaxing in the grass, drinking coffee, with all the kids happily occupied. Our first field trip, Día del Campo, was a huge success.
