A Day at the Farm

Field trips are the best.  I get to really enjoy the time with my students and their unique and hilarious personalities - sans math lessons, sense of urgency and discipline (although, with 12 and 13-year-olds there is always a bit of reprimanding taking place).  Our trip to the farm was no exception - so wonderful!

The bus couldn't make it up the last road, so we walked the mile+ to the farm...

... and not a single student complained.

When we arrived we got to corral a llama...

...and do a lot of climbing - up hills...

...and through caves.

We even found time to relax...

...and to play with bunnies!

A day at the Polo Club

Yes, that's right.  My friends who think I'm uppity (I'm not), will love this.  Juan Carlos and his friends love playing polo.  Juan Carlos has took a bit of a break from playing, but we decided to go with a friend to watch (I had never seen a polo match) and to get out of the city.  It was a beautiful day and I've been feeling antsy lately.  Here are some of the photos from our excursion:

The view from the dirt road that led to the club.

It really exists!

Sitting in the car, watching the game, soaking up the sun - lovely!

 

I got to do a little riding as well - although I'm totally clueless and can never imagine trying to hit a ball with a stick running at full speed on one of these things!

My second lesson driving stick-shift - in this beast of an SUV!  So fun!
