Schools and Farms

After an exhausting two days of home stay our students did a remarkable job of remaining engaged for a morning of classes at our host school here in China.  The calligraphy teacher showed us a series of characters including Crystal Springs High School.  We then sat through a 45 minute math class that only Ava could understand.  The morning wrapped up with a far more engaging English class.

After lunch and a two hour rest at the hotel we headed off to see an organic farm in the country side nearby.  The matriarch of the farm fed us fresh tomatoes and then showed us through her vineyards.  The day ended with a farm cooked dinner and planning for tomorrows teaching at a local elementary school.
