Thursday marked our final day at "El Sol" and we cut class a little short to have a goodbye ceremony. In addition, we received gray hooded sweatshirts with the "El Sol" logo. I really enjoyed the school, as it was not about what grade you got on a test or how much homework you had but focused solely on teaching the Spanish language. In high school, with a little knowledge, it was easy to fib a written Spanish test without truly understanding the content, but here there is none of that. Its all about what you want to get out of it, and my speaking and listening is much improved thanks to "El Sol." The teachers were also amazing and a couple of us made plans to go on a hike with one of them on Friday.
Afterwards we boarded the bus one final time to make our way to UNIFE. The trip there normally takes 20 minutes or so but because of the traffic problem in Lima, it takes an hour or more to get back. Once we arrived there was a lecture on Latin influence on the Spanish language. While Latin is really dry the professor did a decent job of comparing Latin to Spanish and then to English to keep us engaged. Afterwards we finished up our Peruvian history presentations before participating in a ceremony commemorating our final day at UNIFE. There was a couple short speeches from both schools followed by a dance lesson of "Soulja boy" an american dance. Finally a girl from UNIFE sang a couple of songs and had everyone up and dancing with her. It was a great way to end the two weeks we spent there.
