Sitting at breakfast with the CLV people. An eclectic mix. Many have worked at Hometown Europe. One girl worked at German for a while and the other at Spanish. One guy just finished college at Penn State and is on the beginning of an unknown journey around South America. Some speak Portuguese; most of us don't. New role model in one woman, a nurse from OR, who has done so much and lives a very international, inspiring life.
The bus was changed from 10 to 4, so have some extra time. Found a cheap guitar, though.
Here are some tidbits...
Among discussions of favorite books, documentaries and experiences (interesting icebreaker), some passed on words of wisdom...
