Colegio de la Presentacion & my accomodations

This post will give you an idea about the school and the room I stay in here. Colegio de la Presentacion in Tunja was established over 120 years ago. There are over 50 teachers and around 865 students this year. They have 5 english teachers, one of which is Julia. The school is known for its academic excellence. It's been an honor to stay here and to get to know the Sisters. They have been so welcoming from the first night I arrived and I appreciate their daily efforts in helping me learn Spanish.

Views of the inner courtyard:

My room exceeds my expectations (I tried not to have any, but I must admit I wasn't sure if there would be shared bathrooms, outhouses!, etc.) and they do an excellent job maintaining the school and living areas. It is so clean, I'm very conscious of any mess I make. It's very comfortable here and I've felt at peace and relaxed from the start.

Here's a picture of my room:

A welcoming gift of flowers and a card from Sister Esperanza:

I'm thrilled I have a desk that seats two in the room so Barbarita and I can work together on our laptops. :)

Oh, and I have my own bathroom just beyond the closet doors shown above! Muy excelente!
