Kerri CP #5

This weekend I met up with Robert and Brian at the FSU Rez to show a few CIES students around. Five Spanish speakers and one Middle Eastern student joined us. We began with a canoe trip on the lake, and my conversation partner Mario was steering my canoe. He taught me a few Spanish phrases, and we practiced speaking English throughout the day. Once we got back to shore everyone played volleyball against another group from FSU. I watched on the sidelines with Maria, one of Mario's close friends. We are the same age, and we both want to be teachers in the future. Maria wants to teach back home in Colombia, though. I told her about my experiences in Spain, and we were both making fun of the accent used in different areas of Spain. It was nice to get to know more of the Spanish speaking CIES students with a fun day outdoors.
