A Face With a Name.


(in the backyard of House 9 in Oxford)

Bienvenidos a Lista para Asombrar! Welcome to our blog where we (Kara and Jessalyn) will be keeping you updated about what is happening here in the lovely Montevideo, Uruguay...our new home for the next four months.
We know that you're not as interested in us as you are in finding out what its like to live in Uruguay at Casa ACU, but just to start we want to try to put a face with a name and let you know a little bit more about who will be showing you around this town as you read about ACU in Latin America. Once you get to know us we can start showing you around the warm, sunny and lovely Montevideo.
Last January we packed up and headed across the big blue pond to spend a semester with Study Abroad in Oxford, England. We're doing it again this year but this time we're going south and we're determined to get a tan and drink some Matte on the beach. Part of our plan for this blog is to compare and contrast (as much as possible) the two programs. So far they're a world apart and we don't just mean that literally. We at least want to juxtapose our experiences so you can share in our memories and hopefully you'll fall in love with Oxford or Montevideo or BOTH, like we already have.
We hope you enjoy hearing about what's happening here now and we hope that you enjoy reminiscing with us about where we were this time last year. We're definitely going to enjoy it!

get ready to be amazed~
