English Summer Town

On January 7th we went to English Summer Town. We met in Santiago with all the other Fulbright Teachers and the Chilean teachers of English. We boarded the buses and went to Las Colinas de Cuncumen. My mom, along with all the other Fulbrighters, was teaching Chilean teachers from all the different regions in Chile. Each Fulbrighter had a subject and the teachers rotated to each presentation. Overall the week was full of English fun, and singing, dancing and swimming. We had nice cabins and some great food!! Each night we had a special event. The first night we had a dance-athon, the next we watched the movie Mad Hot Ballroom, then they showed an Australian movie (I didn't see it, that night the Fulbrighters came over to our cabin and we had music and lots of fun), the last night we had karaoke night, it wasn't that great though 'cuz they had very few songs. The teachers were really nice and we got to meet some Fulbrighters who we hadn't yet met because of their location, like Annie, who is teaching this year on Robinson Crusoe Island. Also on Thursday Sarah, my dad, my mom, and I taught a dance workshop, it went great and the everyone had an awesome time. Also a fun thing was that we got to see the President of Chile!! Not really, it was a lady who looked a ton like the President. The other teachers had a great time with her, they would say things like " Make way for the President" and everyone wanted pictures with her. Here's her picture:
She sure looks a lot like Michelle Bachelet.

Overall we had a really, really great time!!! Everyone was very friendly and it was a perfect week!
