We are finally in Tegus, and man is it HOT! It is quite a change from the winter we left in MI. Today was our official first day of class, this past weekend was really fun though. We had a retreat in the mountains. On Saturday we went to a camp in a place called Siguatapeque, at the camp there was a high ropes course and a couple of other fear-educing team building activities. The first activity was The Hammock. We had to climb up a shaky ladder and sit on top of a platform that was as high as a telephone pole and then slide off. We were in a harness attached to two wires that basically created a giant swing. The second activity we did was a normal high ropes course with things like tight ropes 40 feet in the air. While at the time we were scared we were happy to overcome our fears and accomplish the tasks required.
So life in Tegus...
We had the best of luck... we are neighbors. I (Hope) live right off a main road and Zenobia lives one ally down from my house. Our families are great, Hope likes the food, Zenobia is not a fan of the cheese or "butter" (montequilla). Classes started today and went pretty well....
We would write more, however we have to go home because we are expected for dinner in a few minutes.
Adios y more to come,
Hope and Zenobia
Location: burger king, Tegus :)
So, Colonia Kenedy. We are thinking of lodging in Colonia Palmira (a perfect place for a Zenobia, actually.) So, is that reasonably near to you?
