Today we went to Astorga. I think it's about my 10th time there, but it's still an amazing city! First, the bus stopped in San Justo de la Vega. From there we walked a section of the Camino de Santiago. Someday I will walk the entire thing! It's definitely on my bucket list. After we arrived in Astorga, I went with Carmen, Khephra, and 2 practicas to the museo romano. It was really [...]

One of the boys told Okado it was the best day of his life!!! [...]

A few problems with past tense but we worked on the later in [...]
First day with my new class!! I have the oldest group, and I'm expecting some great times with them. The older students are wonderful, because I can do a lot of conversation work with them. I have some smart and SUPER funny students. I feel like classes will fly by because we have a lot to talk about. They may be hard to handle at times, but it's nothing my Super Soaker can't handle! ;-) The students had to interview [...]
