What’s up everyone? Greetings from Constanza! Today we had a free day, where we were able to explore the streets of the beautiful city of Constanza! We started our day off with cereal with milk, yogurt, and fruits for breakfast at 9:00am until 10:00am when everyone started to sign out and get ready to explore the city. However, it wasn’t individual explorations, it was in groups of 4 or more. So don’t worry guys, we were safe!
After everyone got the chance to go buy souvenirs and snacks for you guys and everyone back home, we came back a little before 12:00pm to have lunch all together. For lunch we had rice and beans, pork chops, and mixed tomatoes and cucumbers. Meal times usually last for only about an hour so after that, we went to explore the city, taking in the culture.
Explore time ended at 3:00pm when everyone had to head back to the hotel and prepare for their English tutoring classes at the Polytecnico School. Classes began at around 4:00pm and lasted until 6:00pm. Students had lots of fun teaching English to the native Spanish speakers and impacting their lives in a positive way. Arriving back at the hostel at 6:30pm, we were able to prepare for our next class by reviewing what we could improve and what worked in order to improve our teaching skills.
We finished off the day with having dinner which consisted off quesadillas with pico de gallo and a side of salad. The night ended off well with a nightly meeting where we were able to discuss about our day and how it went!
Dear Saijai,
I’m sorry we missed your call. I cried when I heard your voicemail. Hope get to talk to you on your birthday. I will have the phone on me all the time. I’m glad to hear everyone is enjoying the trip and experience the group has been impacted how life is there. We love you so much and will get to see you soon.
Isa miss you
Dear Noah,
First week of Summer has been so quiet without you. Benjamin, Daniel and Sarah have been trying to fill in for you, but they just can’t quite fill your shoes. Sarah had her first swim meet yesterday and we cheered her on. She told me she could even hear me when she was under the water which made me laugh! Tomorrow is daddy’s birthday and we are going to the family picnic. Sunday, for my birthday and Father’s day, we will be going to Mass and then getting Benjamin ready for his Ecuador trip and hopefully fitting in something fun to celebrate our birthdays/Father’s Day.
We are enjoying the informational, insightful and heartfelt blogging from your group! We are sending our love to you and your whole delegation and keeping you in our prayers.
Love
Mom

Hi Mattie! We miss you tons <3! Evan started at 44 Technologies and Chris and I drove Grandma up from San Diego yesterday (looong day in the car!). She is set up at Belmont Village now so you'll get to visit her when you get home. Dad and Ev are training for the race next weekend, of course. Today a big group (including Chris) is going for a ride and then they'll peel off and go for a longer ride. Chris spent a day last week with Uncle Pete at Haro and did a lunch time ride with him on e-Bikes. Fun day! I'm going to fly back to SD tomorrow and drive Gma's car up here for you guys. We're all looking forward to hearing from you soon. Call my cell phone so we don't miss your call. Looking forward to having you back home. LOVE YOU! xoMimi
Sounds like the group is having a great time!
Kristine,
hope you didn’t get too nervous as leader of the day. I’m sure you did well. We all really miss you! Father’s Day won’t be the same without you. Have a great birthday next week! We’re a little disappointed we won’t be there to celebrate with you, but hopefully you’ll have an opportunity to do something fun. Can’t wait to see you and hear all the stories.
