Most days, my friend Jennifer picks me up and we go to her house to work on our homework for the TEFL class we have in the afternoons. We always try to leave a little early so we can make it to Juan Valdez, a delicious coffee chain in Colombia Colombia Granada

Speaking of parking, that’s something I had to get used to here. Almost everywhere you go, there are people (usually men) who work helping people park. They find you a spot, wave you in using a red cloth, and then the idea is that they keep an eye on your car while you do whatever it is you’re doing. When you leave, they help you back out of the space, which can be difficult due to massive oncoming traffic and the fact that they park cars in the craziest positions here. In exchange for this service, you give the guy a few coins and go on your merry way.
After Juan Valdez, we head over to ISSO. Here are a few pictures of Jenn and I being very studious. On this particular day, we got the results of our grammar exam, and I passed with a 96%! Suck it, grammar!!!

ok. so is this different from the Juan valdez coffee that we get from the grocery store in the US? And i love that you had a cafe con leche - that's usually what I get! (except I use the french cafe au lait... :-P)
ReplyDeleteI love the pic of you with your cafe con leche - you look so pretty! As far as the teacher pose, I could use a few more buttons undone...!
