Hello all! This entry will be short because, although dinner will not be served or likely another half an hour, I'm supposed to be home to eat dinner in 10 minutes and you can never tell around here when something will randomly be on time. The last week flew by quite quickly it feels. There have been several activities with the school and I have made some great new friends which is nice, although sad that they are leaving in a week or so. Oh well, there will be more to come. This weekend I went with a group of students to a finca de cafe (coffee farm) and then to the beach, which was both interesting and relaxing. Then, on Sunday I climbed the Volcan Santa Maria that is 3776 meters high (translation to feet anyone?? I think around 10,000 plus??). It was quite a climb but the view was fantastic and totally worth the pain.
I think every day that I'm here, I fall in love with Xela a little bit more. There is nothing especially phenomenal about it as a place, but there is just something about it that I enjoy greatly. Right now, I think I will be in two more weeks of classes (including the current week) and after am going to try to find an orphange or school to volunteer in for awhile (I think, plans are fluid at this point though). I'm not greatly looking forward to a third week of spanish classes, but I greatly need to review everything and will not get to subjunctive until next week, plus, 5 hours a day of private lessons can't be hurting anything, even if it feels a bit tedious at times. That's all I have time for right now! Love to all that expect love from me and to the rest, take care!!
