ciento 80 y tres

my little coffee from ciento 80 y tres

reminded me of the little cappuccinos that nanny & I

used to get in italy.

& for some reason

my trip to this cute little hole in the wall/coffee shop/gift store

made me feel all reaDy for the holidays.

so many colors.

today, I'm trapped indoors

& I wish I could

go explore...

for 6 more days there's always tomorrow...

volunteering.

today is my last day volunteering with fondo esperanza and jefas de hogar.
I'm not looking forward to saying goodbye to my wonderful class & all of the amazing employees at Fondo Esperanza, but I'll have to make the best of my last day & remember all of the good memories throughout the course of these last four months.
~*~

i'm excited to surprise my students with a little end of the year party

with treats & english music!

all of us gringos jumped in a bus the other morning and headed east to visit concha y toro.

"Today, Concha y Toro is Latin America’s major wine exporter and with presence in over 130 countries, one of the world’s most important wine brands."

check out the website to see a complete list of the wines & learn more about the history of the vineyard.

when round 2 of charades turns

into a night of dancing...

5 letras + 5 de mis amigos

subele el volume al radio
que nadie se entere de lo ke vamos hacer

(shhh) callao
