So we got back from the mountain a little bit ago and it was amazing. I was a little hesitant about going on the trip at first, but it ended up being an absolute blast. The kids themselves were very well behaved and it seemed that everyone was looking to get out of the city for a little bit and just enjoy nature. There were about 20 kids and about 6 chaperones including Brian and I. We just played in the snow and went sledding and what not on Saturday. The night was fantastic for it has been a while since I have seen stars like that. It was fun just to spend some time outside looking at the stars and enjoying nature. We ended up staying in a little cabin that was pretty nice, it basically consisted of a little kitchen and entry way and then a bunch of beds, very functional. Today on Sunday we went on a walk for a couple of hours that was beautiful and rather interesting. The guide told us about some of the avalanches that had happened and how many people had been trapped and killed. It was a reminder of the beauty and also the unpredictability of nature. That no matter how hard we try to control the elements, there are many things in life that we cannot control. All in all the weekend was good to get out of the city for a while, to get away from the hectic life of the city for a minute and be able to recharge the batteries a little. It was also good to spend a lot of time with Spanish, getting to understand some of the slang that the kids use. But in the end I don’t know how much rest I actually got. We also have a pretty busy week coming up and I wasn’t able to get any of the stuff done that I needed to. But all in all I was very happy with how the events took place this weekend.
