La Finca (The Farm)










Saturday we went and visited a farm of a teacher that is a family friend of ours. Her family and her bought a farm in the mountains to go to on the weekends or as a "home away from home". Her son turned 17 on saturday so we went to the farm and celebrated with the WHOLE family. There were tons and tons of people speaking spanish. But most of them know english too which made it nice. We ate tons of food...except for the kids and raychel. As you can tell in the picture of the three plates mario has. Because it's very rude to waste food in front of the people here so mario had the food wrapped up to take home. :) It was quite funny. So yes we gained a few pounds this weekend. But we hiked in their mountain and looked at all the cool trees and plants and the VIEW which was amazing!


An update on school....It has been difficult at times but I beleieve i'm going to get this language! God is helping me every step of the way! We are learning different feelings and emotions and a new form of talking called "subjunctive". I have a lot more homework this year and it is a lot more talking in class which is great practice! So this is my reasoning for not updating as much...I'm trying (That's what I always tell the people here when I speak spanish to them...lol)
