I arrived in Toronto after an uneventful flight, 8:00 PM-5:45
AM. Taking time zones into account it was a 10.5 hour flight. I got a taxi to Nora’s and spent a sleep
deprived day with a sleep deprived Nora. Monday morning we were up at 2:30AM
and the taxi picked us up at 3:30. We left Toronto at separate times but met up
in Newark. We arrived in San Juan (doubly sleep deprived) and we met by Helvia
from the Nuestra Escula who took us to the grocery store for food and then to the
Nuestra Escula guest-house.
Its in the old part of Caugus and we can hear the birds,
tree frogs, roosters and the dogs….so many dogs. We went to bed at 8 (dead
tired) to the sound of many dogs barking including two next door and Latin
music playing a few houses over. Tomorrow our day starts at 8:30. Then the work
begins.

We went to bed about 8:00PM and Nora woke me at 9:00 PM thinking
it was already morning and we were late for school. She was VERY tired.
Helvia and Alexander picked up and drove us to school. It’s
a high school and what a different atmosphere than the school framework I’m
used to. First if all it is such a relaxed loving place, hugs all the way
around. The kids love it there and want to learn. They love the teachers and
the teachers care so much about them.
The school doesn’t have many rules, its very relaxed and they are
treated like responsible adults. Nora taught a class all day, no discipline
problems, in fact I don’t think discipline is am issue.
They are also grouped by interest, not age or
grade.Pictures to come
