Brian - CP #3

My 3rd conversation partner experience was a group outing to the FSU Reservation(The "Rez") with 2 other TEFL 'teachers' and some CIES students.   We went canoeing, played volleyball, and hung around and chatted. We emphasized speaking in English as much as we could. The most time spent direct talking was while canoeing.  We discussed with Mario the type of activities they do in Colombia, and whether or not he had been canoeing before(he had not).   It was nice to have some time on the water and make small talk. Then as a group we played volleyball, and I learned some spanish exclamations, both negative and positive, each time our team made a mistake!  It was a fun day.
