Wrapping up Ayni Green School

In the past weeks, Talia maximized bodyboarding time, visited her favorite babysitter’shome in Curia (and held all of her baby birds), had a “field day” at school, had a daytime camping trip at school, graduated from 1st grade and had her final telas performance.

The Ayni Green School graduation was particularly meaningful. Talia had so, so much fun in school this year. From the insane school bus ride through the mountains to the endless recess time to the close friendships—she loved all of it, and we were so grateful to see her happy.

A few special connections stand out: her wonderful teachers, Geraldine (who doubled as her surf teacher) and Denise (who joined for the last month); Asher (who shared Talia’s lunch every day and fulfilled her need for silliness); and Adriana (who is a 12 year old with the most interesting taste in music and the biggest heart—Talia’s first soulmate). We are so glad that Talia’s connections to friends in Olon were as meaningful and deep as ours.Read more
