CBB 2018-2019

Hi Liam! How are you? I wanted to tell you that in one week I’m travelling to Argentina with my classmates and teachers for two weeks, it’s so far away! This country seems to be huge, and it also has a lot of beautiful places. We are going to spend about one week in Jujuy, a place full of incredible natural parks, like the Talampaya, where there’s a big canyon. We are going to Iguazú, too, where there’s an enormous waterfall. I am really excited about this adventure! Best wishes, Valen
