Mark- Our Exchange Student from China

During the first week of August, we hosted another exchange student, Mark, who was from China. Mark is 15 years old and this was his first trip to the US. He stayed with us for about 10 days & we really enjoyed his visit! He spoke english well so it was pretty easy to communicate with him. He had nice manners & loved learning about our culture.
While he was here we took him to Salt Springs, where we went swimming & Charles took him horseback riding. We were sad to see him go since it was such a short visit!
