School, Facutly Party, and the Beach

Well, this week has sure been busy! At school all week, we've just been having meetings and planning for our year. My classroom is starting to get some more walls, which is a good thing. The high school is an addition to the cafeteria/ kitchen and is not yet done, so I'm not quite sure where I will be teaching in two weeks because I don't know that it will be done.... So, it could be interesting when school starts!

The new addition part.... The second floor where there aren't finished walls yet? That's where I'll be teaching.

On Friday night, we had a faculty party at Eva's (one of the preschool teachers) house. It was really fun. We sat around and visited, drank some Presidente, and danced. I know how to dance merengue some, but I also learned the basic step to the bachata as well. Some of the teachers are amazing dancers! It was really a fun night!

Today, we went to the beach in Sosua. It was absolutely gorgeous and really relaxing. We hung out, swam, drank pina coladas, and swam some more all day long. It was about a two hour bus ride from Santiago, so we were able to spend basically the whole day at the beach, which was pretty amazing.
