### August 22, 2019

This past week we have had the pleasure of hosting a visit by the Notre Dame School of Architecture here in Las Catalinas. Sixteen fifth year architecture students, along with professors Douglas Duany and Samir Younes. These students will be working on Las Catalinas projects for the entire coming term (through Christmas).

The students are going to be working on plans and buildings on Punta Penca and Punta Guachipelin - our two dramatic, sea-cliff peninsulas. I'm very excited about it! That's some of them standing at the tip of Punta Guachipelin in the picture.
