The Lake District, Argentina

I had a great time with some friends I met from Ireland and France. We spent Christmas eve and Christmas together. Christmas night we had wine on the beach with the sunset.

I could not have been happier in this part of Argentina. The sky was brillantly blue, pine trees, fresh air, Colorado like scenery, water and hiking. Not to mention wonderful wines, tons of chocolate and the nicest people.

I felt like I was in a fairy tale with a mountain bike.

Just absolutely incredible

Christmas Morning

I definitely found one of my personal favorite beaches.

Christmas Day at the beach

I couldn't resist getting in!

These last several pictures were done on a 24 km loop on mountain bikes. I was in heaven.

A walk near Cali!

Salento - Thanksgiving with the family

This is a coffe field at the Coffee Park, normally this is not what it looks like. Banana trees are planted around the beans to offer more shade. Also, Colombian coffee is the best because each bean is hand picked and hand selected.

The mountains are spectacular

They are so beautiful!

When the family was here I put them to work!

I love my classroom! Never will I have such an amazing classroom!

We took a little walk around the school's campus.

A student's home, and it is perfect for sleep overs!

Me gusto mucho Colombia

Cali Zoo - The best in South America

The zoo in Cali is the best in South America. It was incredible to be able to get closer to the animals than you are allowed to in the states!! We had a great time at the zoo.

Colombia has over 3,800 different species of butterflies. At the zoo was this incredible screened in building where we walked among hundreds of butterflies.

Second year Apartment

I enjoy our apartment this year. It is on the fourth and fifth floors and we have plenty of room to share! The closets are great and I even have a bike room! It gets great fresh air and has large windows. The best thing is we pay $460 a month and that means between three girls it is only $150 each!
