The worldwide Augustana College experience
I cannot believe that it has already been 2 weeks that we have been here in Ecuador. I thought it felt as though I had been here forever, then someone mentioned to me that today is 2 weeks, and I gasped with shock. Time is flying here and our rigorous schedule always keeps me busy. This past [...]

Let us see. Did I enjoy Prague this last weekend? Eh… I mean, it was kinda, sorta, absolutely-a… amazing! Here’s a preface: this is goin’ to be one long entry people, but it is worth it. The trip to Prague was taken by train and all 13 Wittenbergers went together. After a few layovers, we [...]

We arrived to Cuenca last night and today we had our first set of classes. I am sitting at CEDEI (where we have classes) on a lovely patio with beautiful flowers. Two little girls are watching me write this from the window, and every time I look at them they giggle. So far, Ecuador has [...]
