I can't believe it has already been a whole week in El Sauce! I've already done and seen so many new things- its such a good experience! I have to travel to San Jose every afternoon to help with the adult elementary level classes, and I tutor a woman, Yamilet, on Mondays and Wednesdays. I've only gone to do that once so far, the second time will be today, but I really enjoyed it and felt like she was learning and I was actually helping, which was gratifying. Hopefully today when I go I can set up tutoring with more people. I also get to go with Eddy sometimes to talk to other teachers surrounding San Jose or in other little towns nearby, which always proves to be an exciting experience, especially because he is so chatty and curious about the US.
On Friday I went with Kellan and Yacarely to Ocotal, which was another awesome experience. The views are gorgeous up there! We had a meeting with the Eco-tourism cooperative Saturday morning, which was really long but interesting to see how everything there works. Then we had to walk down the mountain, which took 3 1/2 hours, since there was no transportation down on Saturdays. Needless to say, I slept well that night. I'm so lucky I chose the programs I did so that I get to travel more and see the surrounding areas of El Sauce!
In the evenings I don't have anything to do so I have been helping with the advanced adult Enligsh class. I really like doing that too, the people are so willing to learn and the activities are really fun.
Everything is going really well for me, I'm having such a great time learning new things and meeting new people. I also feel like I can understand people and communicate a lot easier, which is nice. I can't wait to see what will happen tomorrow!
