Special Visitors

We were so lucky this week to have not one, but two special visitors to talk about their countries of origin.  Sofia, Nicolas' mom, came to tell us about the climate and the unique animals of Ecuador.  She also had us practicing our Spanish pronunciation of the South American countries.  Eloisa's mom, Carmen, showed us a slide show of the beautiful scenery of El Salvador and Nicaragua.  We were especially impressed by the photos of the volcanoes and how there is a lake to swim in INSIDE the rim of one of them!!  She also brought some flags and other artifacts from Central America.  We liked that she referred to that region as the "belly button" of the Americas! 

Enjoy the long weekend!
