On my last day at the school when I was saying goodbye to everyone and taking pictures with all the kids, a little boy who I had never seen before (or didn't think I had- apparently he was in one of my classes. Oops.) took my camera and was running around taking pictures with it while I was rolling around in the grass playing with a giggly little boy.
Right before their next class had to start, David, the slightly-cross eyed boy with the spiky brown hair who wants to learn French and Portuguese, asked me to go through the camera so I could see all the pictures he'd taken while I was playing a game with the class.
I went to scroll through them and stopped dead.
There were twenty.
Twenty pictures.
There had been hundreds.
Flash: the kid running around with the camera.
Flash: me pressing the down arrow to delete a picture and three options appearing-- cancel, delete, and delete all.
The video of the bar going absolutely wild when Colombia scored a point against Chile- gone. The videos of the kids playing games in the classroom- gone. All the pictures of Alicia and I at Monserrate, of pictures in the park, all the pictures I had just taken with me and the kids, everything from the last few weeks when I had legitimately started bringing my cmaera everywhere.
So for anyone who notices the current lack of pictures and videos here - that's why.
