Oh my goodness, what an amazing experience this has been already and we have only been here a day and a half!! It is absolutely beautiful here, I can't even begin to describe the beauty of this island. We were able to go into the village where we will be eating every day with the students and families. It made me really appreciate what I have at home and how great I have it. We met some of the students we will be working with and just these simple hellos made me so much more excited to get started in the classroom on Monday. Our first Spanish lesson was a huge success as we dive right into the basics and learned so much. We also spent some time on the beach, which is something I was looking forward to, BIG difference from the snow!!! Can't wait for tomorrow to visit the cocoa farm and to hopefully spend more time on the beach (: it's been a super long day and all I want right now is my pjs and bed!
