Tamales!!!!

I had an amazing experience tonight!
I got to go and help a local woman make tamales! You can't imagine how cool it was!
We literally went out into the jungle and cut down leaves from banana trees, then cleaned the leaves. Carolina already cooked the meat and the corn masa.
(Btw, I have never even eaten a tamale in my life...so I'm not quite sure why they let me help!)
Then we put them together, rolled it up, and steamed the tamale over a fire.
Super cool experience!


Also, the sheep at work today had lambs!!! She is the proud mommy of new little cuties, and as  you can imagine, we are having a hard time focusing on anything but these guys!
