They're wonderful to instructors and students alike and invited us to participate in their own 4th of July festivities at the shop. While we were unable to attend because of our picnic with host families, the students were insistent upon inviting everyone from Taste of America to our next big event, which will be the fiesta de despedida on the 22 of July.
