Rotary Presentation, Capitao, Salto Monday

On Thursday at the Ciudad del Este (CDE) Rotary Club meeting, I had the opportunity to share a little about myself, the Frisco Rotary Club, and my thoughts thus far. I will report again at the July 16 meeting to give ideas as to how the CDE club can best enhance education in the city.

On Friday morning, I went with Graciela's daughter, Arlene, to a teacher training/meeting at CCPA. It is an English institute headed by the U.S. Embassy. I spoke to them about teaching methods that are used in the U.S. I will go again next Friday to model a lesson, and possibly observe some classes there during the week. That evening, I went with Eli and her friends to a restaurant in Foz de Iguazu. They teased me because I got tired so early...remember, I'm still on teacher schedule! Luckily, though, they let me go home early. :)

Today, Eli picked me up around 9:45, and I tried to help with her English homework. It was difficult! I know when to use each form, but trying to explain when to use one over another is so hard! We had lunch with her family, then we went to Salto Monday, what they describe as a small waterfall. It wasn't so small to me! Then we went to Mita'i and had a "merienda," or snack.

Tonight I'm supposed to be going to Puerto Iguazu in Argentina to stay with the Rotary Club's president. Tomorrow she is going to take me to see the big waterfalls! :)
