Well I think the title says it all! It has been a couple months since I last updated this blog. A lot has happened since then, so this blog post might get a little long...
Anyways, I last wrote before Christmas. Rachel and I got to spend some time with the other teachers the week leading up to Christmas. We had a brunch, went to the SIM Cabin for a couple days, and had a nice Christmas dinner a few days before Christmas. They were headed to Buenos Aires for Christmas itself, so we had fun celebrating Christmas with them a few days early. On Christmas, Rach and I spent the day with another teacher and his family. We had a great time and even though it was hard to be away from my family for the holiday, we made the most of it.
A few days after Christmas, we traveled to Sucre for six days. Sucre is located in the mountains and is south and east of Cochabamba. We spent our days exploring the city which has a beautiful colonial European feel to it. We visited museums, a dinosaur park with footprints from the Cretacious Period, and ate at some delicious restaurants. Overall, it was a good time, and although we were worried about traveling with our limited spanish, we did pretty well.
After the 3 week vacation, we started back teaching. In addition to my science and math classes, I took on teaching high school music. I have enjoyed teaching the different material, and I really like that I get to know some more of the high schoolers. Rachel and I also are the assistant coaches for the girls basketball team. We are really having fun with that as well. I can't believe that we have been back in school for about a month. We have about 3 weeks until our Spring Break, so it will be nice to have some more time off in a bit. But for now, I am continuing to enjoy all that I am doing here, and most definitely keeping busy in the process!
Well thanks so much for reading my blog and keeping up with my crazy life. I promise to try and update this more often from here on out. Especially because so much is happening these days!!
Thanks for reading!
