Follow the Journey

It is Semana Santa this week! We have all been settling into our host families here in Leon and are enrolled in our new school Dariana Santa for this week. There was a procession featuring Saint Benedict on Monday which most of us viewed from afar. Our days here consist of school in the morning until 12 and then free time to participate in activities such as museum time, spanish movies, yoga, and exploration of the city. It is the second hottest city in Central America, so a siesta in the afternoons are almost always necessary. Most of have fans in our rooms and use them during all times of the day. There is a French bakery near the school complete with crossaints, chocolate mousse cake, and delicious tortes. Until later,
