Our second day involved visiting the school, meeting the teachers and employees, and other students. The school wasn't anything I had expected. Sure, I had seen photos on their website, but in person it is much different. The school's location used to be a place of communal housing. Each family had two rooms, no matter how large the family was. There was a community kitchen and bathrooms. The director transformed the building into a language school. On the outside it appears to be small and like any other dwelling on the street. But, once one enters the door, it's much, much bigger.
The room with all the windows was cool. You can see much of the city just from this room. I had some classes in this room the last three weeks of instruction.
My classroom was the only door on the left down this walkway.
The little cafeteria and picnic tables were off to the left, and the doorway at the end of the dark hallway is the front door.
Calle Ledezma is the street in which the school is located.
This is a much better picture of Calle Ledezma. The first yellow building on the right hand side, going up the street, is where the school is.
The sidewalks and roadways were mostly made and designed such as this one. Very different from the typical concrete slabs we have here in the states.
Andre playing at the school. He loved the puddle but got bored of it quickly, and moved onto exploring the school.
