I am on my break from lessons with Odillia. I just love her. It is great, though my mind gets very tired after a while because everything is Spanish. If I don´t know a word, she explains it in Spanish. If I don´t understand grammar, she explains it again in Spanish. This weekend was a GREAT break.

Alisa and I have survived a crazy storm on our first night that caused us to spend the night in our school rather than returning to our cozy beds in our house. I love the house. It is so cute, and the meals with the family and the three other students staying there from Holland have been very fun. We also have survived our first trip to the market.
