The first two weeks of Spanish School
19th October 2009
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.
