Last week, we had our first Christmas bell performance. To everyone’s delight, it went quickly and smoothly. We have one more week of school until Christmas break, and in this week, we have three more concerts. We are hoping that these performances will go at least as well as the first.

On Saturday, we went to Old San Juan. This is probably my favorite place in Puerto Rico, and until yesterday, it had been too long since I’d been there. After some Christmas shopping, we found a new little coffee shop that quickly became my favorite place in my favorite city on the island. Finally, there is an alternative (which much better beverages) to Starbucks!
When it got dark, we were able to enjoy the city’s Christmas lights, including a nice light show on La Fortaleza (the governor’s mansion).

This outing was just what I needed to energize me for one more week here. The last few weeks of this long semester have been crawling along, and I have been itching to travel home to family and friends.
How beautiful!
