 Hello Blog People, This is one of my favorite parts about ACA: We get to go on trips as part of our schooling. Everything is taken care of for us: food, transportation, accommodations, tours, everything! And we get to travel and experience the culture all together, without worrying toooo much about homework.

There was a tent area where we held meetings and a nice two-story lodge where we ate food and played some games. There was a sand volleyball court and a soccer field. Since the campus was on a hill, you could see some of the surrounding towns if you hiked a little wa...
