Yesterday Katie, Ryan and I went to Antuco, a nearby town of a little over 3,000 people. Antuco sits at the base of a huge volcano with the same name and is a gorgeous town surrounded by snow-capped mountains. We were invited by Raul, one of the town’s two English teachers, to come and meet his students and get them excited about speaking a foreign language. It was a great day filled with lots of English, good food, and beautiful scenery. Raul also took us on a quick trip up into the Andes, about a half hour from Antuco, and it sure was pretty up there. Here are some pictures from the day!
The adorable Pre-K class. They sang us some fantastic songs in English and were beyond precious.
The high school students after a question and answer session. They all wanted pictures with us and gave us a taste of what it feels like to be a celebrity.
A visit to the school for the kids who live on the extremely rural outskirts of Antuco (there are just over 30 kids in the whole school). They got the three of us to sing our national anthem for them, and in return they sang the Chilean national anthem. They sounded better!
Sometimes I forget how close to the Andes I live. Chile is so beautiful!
