We have been at the Rayuela Institute learning Spanish for two weeks now. Jeff has one other student in his class, Pam is by herself – nowhere to hide! We both have lovely profesoras.

.

We spend 4 hours per day there so usually go for a long walk after class to clear our heads before doing the homework.

.

The weekends are for sightseeing.
