Language School

I absolutely loved language school. I was there for two weeks in a small town named Tuis in the rain forest. My host family was the best and it was a lot of fun hanging out with the other students from classes. Sadly, some of them were from Minnesota and once they found out I was from Iowa I got made fun of quite a bit :)

The school itself was awesome because it is also a mission that hosts the indigenous people and takes trips every few months to a village called Chirapo. It's a pretty steep 6 hour hike and they help out medically and with building. I hope to be able to go on the next trip in March.

We also got to go on hikes, practice cooking,play poker...stuff like that. So I had a blast. Here are some photos...
