Cooking and Dancing Classes
Thursday
We woke up to a BEAUTIFUL sunny morning! Since we didn't have to be at school till 10, some of us spent time on the beach while others went walking around town. At school, we were split into 2 groups so one group could cook while the other would have a a dance class and after an hour, we switched. The first class mainly learned salsa which was a workout for our calves! We learned that we need to relax and have fun while dancing! The other group was making empanadas de platanos maduros. These are a sweet empanada with cheese in the middle. They got to each make their own and then eat the fruits of their labor. Then, we switched. The second dance group got a little further than the first one and they got to learn merengue after learning some salsa. Hopefully we will get to use our dance skills tomorrow night!
After lunch we went to our last normal classes of the week and that's when it started to rain. We've been blessed that it has rained mostly while we've been in class or at night when we're at our host family's house. After classes, we got to have ice cream since we missed our movie night on Monday and never got to make it up. We hung out a bit and got to see one of our Mama Ticas dance a bit in the Zumba class. She was so cute! The rain let up enough for us to walk home and started raining again during supper. It's raining right now as I write this but I'm not complaining because the rain brings cool breezes.
Tomorrow is our last day at school and then we will graduate! After lunch we get to do one of my favorite activities - canopy!!! Or as we say in English - ziplining!!! Then, after supper, we will go out for some mocktails and dancing at one of the restaurants. We can't stay out too late because Saturday morning we have to be at school early to go kayaking! We still have lots of fun activities in our last few days!
¡Hasta luego!
