Classes Have Begun

We arrived as planned yesterday and everyone is working hard in Spanish classes as I write. We had a long day of travel yesterday, waking at 5:00 am and finally getting to sleep around 10:00 pm Nicaraguan time (that's midnight on the east coast). All three of our flights were more or less on time, but with layovers, ground transportation, customs, etc., it made for a lengthy day. Rosaly joined our group in Miami as planned. The bus dropped us off in our respective houses last night. After getting to know our host families we hit the hay. We awoke early, had breakfast and met up at Casa Xalteva at 8:00 am. We met the staff and children, and then everyone went off with their teachers. Jasmine and Emma share a teacher, while the others will recieve 36 hours of one-on-one instruction.

Ready to Go

Our bags are packed and in the car.... We hope everyone else's stuff fits. Have passports, will travel. Elizabeth, Emma, and Porter

New Video on Casa Xalteva

Check out this new video on Casa Xalteva. Unfortunately, it is slow to download and watch, but worth it.

Last Minute

We are all packing, wondering if we brought too much or too little. Once we are there, it won't matter :)

5 Days

We leave in just 5 days!

Gianni's Passport

Gianni's passport came the other day. Too cute, with his red face.
