I got up so late today I didn't bother with a shower. I arrived at the school and was taught by Mary. She was ok if a little boring and she tended to go off on a tangent at times. I was given a lecture on pronouns which I've already studied so was bored rigid with mind-numbing exercises. The class with Mary tired me out. My head was about to explode before I had the coffee break. Today is "Dia Del Maestro" which means day of the teacher. So we had free empa...

I got up early for class, grabbed a roll and ran off to school. I'm always late, it's quite funny the teachers know they can have a cup of coffee when they have me as I'm nearly always 10 minutes late! My teacher today was Lucha. We did various exercises although one exercise had me totally stumped. We covered pronouns later as it's useful when retelling a story. On my break I chatted to a Dutch girl called Molika who is here learning Spanish and doing volunteer ...

We all got up around 9ish and suddenly realised it wasn't warm. There was a tropical rainstorm and so it wasn't insufferably hot. We had breakfast and then walked around the jungle owned by Runawasi. The house and grounds only cost $18,000. We found a termites nest and an armadillo burrow. We then walked through the garden full of yuca, coffee and starfruit plants. We chilled out in the afternoon in the hammocks reading and playing cards. We had a huge BBQ ...

We got up around 8, had some breakfast and fresh fruit picked from the garden. They have these cool pink bananas here that are delicious and much sweeter than normal bananas. We packed our daypacks and were all given long-sleeved denim shirts as there are many plants that will rip t-shirts, skin etc. Not to mention lots of insects that will happily bite your exposed arms! We were also given water bottle holders. We drove to a nearby river and were then taken...

I got up at 7.30am, this getting up early business is really not my thing but I suppose it's preparation for when I'll be working. I didn't have the greatest night's sleep after my mosquito escapades. I walked zombified to the shower, it refreshed me a little bit as did my fave little Camu Camu rolls and tea. I was a good 10 minutes late for my lesson. My teacher today was Wilma, I get on well with her and the classes always pass quickly. Despite being very...
