First Day

Thanks Diego :) I hope you guys have a safe trip!

Today was very exciting, but first a quick recap of the weekend:
Saturday was very tiring, but it was great to get to know my new roommates and explore the city a bit. Yesterday we climbed la catedral (113 m high in a city that is ~2500 m above sea level). Amazing view!!



Back to today. It was the first day of my internship, and I met a lot of new people. Angela, my program manager, is very nice. She showed me around the Centro Colombo Americano, which is important for the community because they can learn English from native speakers there. This is where, for the next weeks, I will prepare for the lessons I teach at ENAE (an all-girls school). After noon I will make my way over to ENAE, which is a short walk from Colombo. The kids were all very fascinated by me today, with my blond hair and blue eyes. Tomorrow I will introduce myself to many of the classes and talk to the teachers.





Goodnight,
Vanessa
