path of the mountain is what it translates into

This is the beginning of the path
I got off the path and took a trail for a ways
Back on the path, I came to a beautiful waterfall
This is the view of Andorra from the path just above the waterfall
This is an old bridge over the waterfall and the path back down. It was simply a breath taking walk. I am glad I found it. When I have 6 hours of free time, I will go to the top. Maybe next spring!

Our way up the hill

Lokking back down the hill at the last group
My Cosmetic girls, they were in my group
Okay so we reached the cave and it was right side up but not in the picture, sorry

Prepared to hike

My guides: Samuel, Marc, Lluis, Carles, and David
My wanna be guides: Daniel and Jordi
My Micro class, I am their favorite teacher, or so they say.
Where we were supposed to go hiking, the top of the first hill. This is some kind of monument but the words were unreadable

The view from the first stop on our original hike.

A hiking we will go

So today we were supposed to go on this really cool hike. I was in group two which was the second longest hike. When we got to the first stop they decided not to go because it was raining and cold and someof the students weren't dressed for the weather,so we didn't even make it to where my group was supposed to go. So we rode the buses all the way up the mountain, which was amazingly beautiful just to turn around and go back down to the school. We did go for a hike but it was just up to a cave above the school, which took about an hour and a half. It was fun but I so would have liked to have gone on the other hike. Maybe another time. So, yes, here come the pictures of the students on the hike. ENJOY...

A new teacher!!!

They have finally found a teacher so I will become the assistant teacher like I was supposed to be all along. It was way too much work and I never had time to enjoy Andorra, but now I will do my best to do just that. On Wednesday the school is going up to Ordino, which is higher in the mountains and very beautiful. I will not for get my camera.

Oh the joys!!!

I love the river that runs through Andorra

That is the receipt for a very expensive absentee ballot. It was around $50 and it even smells of cigar smoke, yuck! I wanted to cry.
