Rained Out

Another fun day! The weather has been rainy here since we arrived. From what I hear, this is very unusual. We were supposed to go on an excursion today to a park of natural springs (Las Estecas) but opted not to go because it was too rainy. Hopefully the school will offer the trip again while we are here and we can go on a sunny day. Since we didn't do that we had comidia at home with our family which was of course delicious.
After lunch, Nicole and Becca (another student from New York who is also staying with our host family) and I walked to a local store. We stacked up on snacks to take with us to school as well as yogurt. The yogurt is supposed to help ward off the e-coli in the water - we don't drink the tap water but I figured a few extra precautions couldn't hurt. After we got back, we talked with Lara and her husband for a while and played with Carlito. Then we headed up to our room to work on homework.
