Day 2: San Juan la Laguna

On the morning of our second day in San Juan La Laguna, we ate breakfast ranging from pancakes to eggs to frijoles with our homestay families, then met with the rest of the group at Lema at 7:30. After doing a quick check-in, we did a voice and body warm up which involved standing in a circle, flailing our arms, and shrieking at the top of our lungs at eachother. Next, we did an activity with a local group of girls to compare women's empowerment in our cultures. Later, at 12:30 we all went to our homestays to have lunch and relax. After a restful few hours, we met at the eco Spanish school where we took a "quick and easy" quiz to determine our level, and then had a short Spanish lesson in groups of 2-3 which were organized by level. - Alicia .
