While we were in Honduras we visited these caves. The end has yet to be discovered. It's amazing to think how long it's been forming.
Seth's cousin visited and her and her friends cooked dinner at out house. I just made the drinks but the meal was amazing, chicken fajitas with homemade tortillas and guacamole
One of my more creative pictures. Here are two of my tenth grade couples. They've since broken up but such is highschool life . . . believe me highschoolers are the same in Costa Rica as in the states.
During "Semana Santa" (Easter week, schools have off all week and everything else is closed from Wednesday noon through the weekend) we (me, my brother Joseph, and Seth another English teacher) went to Honduras to visit Rev. Ernie and Betsy Langendoen. I had a great time visiting with old friends. It was especially fun because my spanish is so much better and I could have deeper conversations with my friends. In the picture are Eva (on top) and Davina, two of the Langendoen's children.
In Costa Rica ninth graders receive a certificate of completion (it's not really na diploma.) So I got the "priverlage" of being one of the teachers to hand these out. I had to read FULL NAMES IN SPANISH. I probably butchered most of the names but at least they understood me well enough to know when I was saying their name! Instead of shaking hands we give the diploma, I say congratulations (in English, afterall I am their English teacher and then give them a kiss on the right cheek.
