Our hostess Gloria and her family have opened a bilingual school for their own and other local children. This is probably what would be called a Charter School in the US. We spent much of the day at the school meeting the children and hearing the story of its creation, about current activities and plans for the future. It definitely threw Nina back into Teacher mode and we have had a number of conversations about what would I - Rob - do if we came down here for a few months so that Nina could work at the school.


After the school visit and saying goodbye to the children, the teachers and the resident horse, goat, ducks, dogs and cats we visited the Chia town square.
