We have all arrived in Oaxaca now! Our homestays are next door, and across the street from each other. Our hosts are very accomodating and our homes are very pleasant. We are enjoying the beautiful scenery, foilage and birds. We've all had "fluent" conversations via hand signals and pictures! None of us realized what a challenge total "immersion" would be, and we've been immersed to say the least!
Today was our first day of classes! We found our way to the school, and back home, and back to the school again! We are getting really good at using the ATM machines too! We are looking forward to getting a little more comfortable everyday, with the area and the language!
We've discussed how it must feel for a Spanish-speaking child to come into our schools, and we are brainstorming ideas for how to make that transition easier.
We are off to dinner and a little more exploring. Good walking shoes are a necessity for this city!
Adios! Hasta luego!
~Marcia, Becky, & Niki
