Tucuman

Well, our time here is just about over.  We ended our team voyage in Tucuman at the district conference.  It was great seeing all the lovely faces of the great people we met along our way.  While Esperanza seems SO long ago, it only seems like yesterday that we were meeting our team for the first time.  The Group Study Exchange program is a wonderful program.  We were able to experience things most others never will have the opportunity to experience.  Staying with host families really helped us get to know the people of Argentina and experience Rotary and all the great things that they do.  It was great to catch up with everyone and to see our counterparts, Ana, Lili, Laura, Flor, and Ezekiel!!

One of my favorite Rotary projects was a project of a club in San Miguel, Tucuman.  The club worked with a school to create a lab for the blind and visually impaired.  We spent over an hour in the small room talking with Rotarians, various teachers, and a former student, Alberto, who is blind and now helps out and also does some of his college course work in the room. The room is named after Anne Sullivan.  Stuart, Oakley, and Alberto talked about music and sang quite a few different tunes.

Such a gorgeous view!!

This was the first time I saw this many bottles come out for an asado.
