Here I am with Selma's dog, Camila. Following the excursions or projects, the afternoons were very flexible and open. I wound up filling them with a variety of activites. John and I joined a gym for a month, so I would try and go there whenever I had some free time. The busses were very convenient, and cheap!! Somedays I would participate in the spanish/english exchange program where students would pair up with local residents and teach english for an hour, and then reverse roles and practice spanish for an hour. This was a great way to practice the new material I learnedduring class. Other days, I would do lots of small activities, such as going to an internet cafe for a little while to e-mail my parents, and return to practice the dance for the quinceanera. |
