Hellos and Goodbyes

What a whirlwind this past week has been! In addition to the surprise winter snow storm that we experienced yesterday, we had an entire week of greetings, farewells and fast-forming friendships. Here is a recap of the intensely sad and joyful moments that we have recently experienced:

On Monday, we reluctantly said Goodbye to the Chilean delegation  ...

Then, on Tuesday, we said HELLO (Ni Hao!) to the Chinese Delegation from Beijing Huaxia Girls' School, our oldest sister-school ....  

Much to our delight, the Chinese and Peruvians became fast and dear friends - what fun to have 2 visiting schools from 2 different continents here at the same time! .....

And then, on Thursday, we began the day with SNOW, a real treat for the Peruvians, many of whom had never seen snow (we Dallasites don't see too much of it either).  And all too quickly, it was time to say a snowy goodbye to the wonderful Peruvian Delegation - we are still drying our tears from that goodbye!
