Spanish School

Completed day 2 of our course on the terrace of our hotel. It´s a solid 4 hrs one on one with two good professional teachers. Since I know most of the basics, it´s pretty laid back for me. We converse, I tell her when I don´t understand, she explains and she corrects me. We go over grammar and use it in context. Today we told fables. We also get off on some good general conversations. R, on the other hand, is a bit overwhelmed and is being thrown all kinds of new grammar and vocab. However, his teacher is sanguine and he´s working hard.

Class is 8 to 12 and in the aft. we do our traveler´s chores, walk around and go to the beach and study and read in the evenings. The sun is hot, but there is a cool breeze, plenty of exotic fruit juices (passion fruit is my current favorite) and all in all quite pleasant. There are, however, way more noise and people here than expected. It is still the summer vacation period and Colombianos are out in full force along with other South Americans. They definitely like their music loud and throbbing and since everything is al fresco here we are making good use of our earplugs.

We´ve noticed how well endowed all the Col. women are but turns out that about 80% have breast augmentation which is very cheap here. My teacher told me she had it at age 40 and her daughter will have it at age 21. Tell all your flat chested friends it´s not too late!
