A Birthday Ski at Sunday River

Rich took Luiz Gustavo, the birthday boy, and Yago to Sunday River on a spectacular spring day. Warm temperatures, blue skies, and 119 trails open on seven mountain peaks! Here's the first part of the boys' day. Luiz is taking photos, so more will be posted later on. And right now Connie is baking a cake for the official song.... "Who let the dogs out?"

Luiz Gustavo Ristow

International exchange student Luiz Gustavo Ristow is a 16-year-old from Joinville, Brazil (click on photo above for further information), who loves soccer and math. Joinville has 600,000 citizens, so Luiz will find the town of Rumford (7,000) a unique experience. Why America? "I want to go to America to learn to speak English fluently, for life experiences, to grow as a person, and to learn another culture." Luiz says he's interested in international business or teaching P.E. though he knows he has time for making that decision. Luiz looks forward to being a brother to Yago and racing Rich through the mountain paths to see just how old his host dad is!

Yago Ceballos

International exchange student Yago Ceballos of El Puerto Des Santa Maria, Spain (click on photo), will turn 15 years old in September. He's an avid sailor, plays soccer, and plans to become a Spanish Naval officer like his dad. Why America? "I want to go to America because I want to know different people like you, Rich, who will help me to open my mind. I think I will improve as a person living with you and Luiz." Naturally, Yago wants to improve his English, make many American friends, and to create a lifelong friendship with his Brazilian brother, Luiz, and his American host dad, Rich.
