The Field Studies office provided a trip to the San Antonio Botanical Gardens on February 10. I was among 50 students attending this event. I had a chance to enjoy the dazzling array of colors in the formal setting that explores the world of exotic plants and unique species of Texas native flora. This was a great occasion to meet my classmates away from the structured classroom environment of learning while still developing our language skills. We admired the beautiful, peaceful, and pleasantly warm environment of the gardens. What surprised me most was that I met a colleague from Po-land, 1LT Ariel Adamski. We had not had the opportunity to meet and talk because this was my first week at Lackland. So we had a great chance to exchange experiences regarding DLI and take a breather before we returned to school. We are really thankful for this interesting trip and waiting for another one.
