Jonah!
It’s Juliette from Spanish at LC. I’ve been wondering how life abroad is going for you–I’m glad to hear you are happy and safe! Having an hermanito sounds amazing–4 years is such a fun/curious age. I babysat a 4.y.o. this summer and learned SO much from him. I hope you guys go on adventures together. How are you doing with the language?

Alison- It is a seminary! The CIEE program that I am doing lets us take classes at any of four schools: Bonó, La UASD, FLACSO, and INTEC. Bonó is a great place because the students all live together and are really friendly and helpful. Also, almost all of the classes are things you´d find in a normal University: For instance, I am taking Social Latin American History there.

I’m curious about Bono, and how you ended up taking classes at what sounds a lot like a seminary… But I’m struggling to frame my curiosity in a way that doesn’t sound judgmental or like I think it’s a bad thing… So…there you go… :~D

Jonah! I love reading about your time there — keep it up! And stay safe (I just heard about the earthquake in Haiti this morning)!
