Hola mis amores,
I have SO much homework today. Today is my last day of class and Monday I will begin my second class which will be 6 hours a day of intensive spanish communication and continued written composition. Thankfully my teacher is giving us 3.5 hours today in class to finish our "trabajo final", which includes a summary in response to an article we read about reading comprehension and the constructive process of writing, a short composition, and a detailed list of vocabulary definitions. All in Spanish of course. I'm going to be very happy to be done and I will celebrate the conclusion of my 3015 Spanish class with a beautiful group trip to Choroni Beach. YAY. It's going to be quite the trip, we leave tonight around 8:30 on a 10 hour bus ride to Maracay, then another two hours from Maracay to Choroni Beach. Our group is staying there for 2 nights in a hostal and we won't return until very early Monday morning.
I'm most excited for the chocolate because I have heard numerous times that the Cocoa there is beyond believable. And I read that to get there we travel through the cloud forest mountains of the Henri Pittier National Park before descending to the sea. I can't wait to see what this weekend has in store, I just need to get through my rigorously intense academic day and then I'm home free. Plus, and this is a big plus, there are many African-Venezuelans at Choroni and it is custom for them to play tambores on the beach and dance in the sand. Viva Venezuela, Viva, Viva.
I'm going to get back to frying my brain with Spanish but I hope that everybody has a wonderful weekend. I'm only bringing my disposable camera this weekend but I'll be sure to share pictures that other people take of the beautiful scenery.
One last note:
