Today is our last full day at Casa Betesada. Emotions will run high this evening for all of us. There is a pool party planned this afternoon, a chance for friends to come by and say hi, hang out, get cool in the pool. Then this evening we will have the offical "despedida" or good-bye party, complete with dinner and dessert. I imagine some merengue too. You should see Ellie and Carly dancing, much fun! It brings joy to my heart to see the wonderful friendships we have made here this summer.
Six weeks here has really helped us break some of the language barriers we had last year. Our Spanish is improving. Monique's effort with Rosettta Stone last year really paid off for her. Her ability to communicate has grown leaps and bounds. She really doesn't let the translators speak English to her, so they help with Spanish everyday. Beautiful!
I'll be continuing to write and post pictures so stay tuned. Thanks for your support and prayers.
Love,
Vic for the fam
