Hola!

                Today we woke up, excited to take the canopy tour!  After looking outside at the rain, we discovered that it got canceled L we were very sad,  but we did get to leave a little earlier to get to our business site.  W e were also able to arrive a little earlier to our second homestay.  The business we visited is called ad astra.  They are a developing rocket company with lots of new  and cool ideas to save money and be more efficient.   Their main goal right now is to be able to travel to mars and back in less than a year.  The time it takes now is about 2 full years.  That’s a long time!  After visiting this rocket company we headed to our next homestay.  This homestay was located in corral de piedra.   Upon arriving, there was a greeting plocated in corral de piedra.   Upon arriving, there was a greeting party for us!  All the little girls of the town had dressed up in traditional dresses and danced about 3 or 4 traditional dances for us to welcome us to their town.  They also cooked some  traditional foods for us and showed us some of their homemade jewelry.  The jewelry is amazing to look at because it is cut very intricately.  Once the party was over, we split up into groups with our host families and then went to our respective houses.  I was partnered with Michelle and our host  mom’s name was Zulay.  I thought this was such a beautiful name.  It was totally appropriate for her because she was absolutely gorgeous!  She also had a son Harold who went to school an hour away on bike everyday! WheW! What a long day! Especially if it rained..  After settling in, we ate dinner with our host families and went to bed pretty early because we had a LONG day ahead of us the next day!
