Dunes and more

As we prepare to finish our 4th week here, we had an amazing Thursday. We started with classes and lunch. We then visited "Parque Ecologico de Con Con". At the park students played games, did some bird watching, planted trees and enjoyed the beautiful view. After we finished at the park, we headed to the dunes, where students enjoyed a fun evening of sandboarding. We will be leaving for our weekend excursion tomorrow to La Serena and we are excited as our new adventure begins.

Bienvenida en Viña (the welcome)

We arrived to the location where students will be taking their classes and doing their afternoon activities. The families were waiting and were very excited to meet their kids. Each student was introduced to their family followed by performances and introductions. It was a great way to dive right in and get a glimpse at Chilean culture.
