Another overnight bus ride and I was back in Puerto Montt by 6:30am. Although I did manage to get some sleep I certainly wasn't able to stretch out much and woke up this morning very soar and to go with that; freezing cold. I had 2.5 hours to wait that turned into 3.5 hours at the station before being picked up by my wonderful host Karina - so I did my best to stay warm and pass the time as quickly as possible. When Karina arrived I was over the moon and so thank...

After breakfast I made my way to the office for our morning meeting too which our coordinator arrived very late too, but none the less arrived.

The main focus for the day was to get our lip-dub done (using Katy Perry's new song Roar- all the students, staff and teachers would make a music video lip-syncing the lyrics to the song...

Today I was up at the crack of dawn ready to make the day full of excitement, learning and fun - I am really feeling in my element here. For breakfast today the lovely nutritionist had the chefs give me porridge and Raisens an absolute treat after not getting anything yesterday. We did our pre-morning meeting, organized our things and made our way to class for our 9am start. Automatically I noticed the kids were in a much more relaxed state today and ready to inv...
