I got up early for class, grabbed a roll and ran off to school. I'm always late, it's quite funny the teachers know they can have a cup of coffee when they have me as I'm nearly always 10 minutes late! My teacher today was Lucha. We did various exercises although one exercise had me totally stumped. We covered pronouns later as it's useful when retelling a story. On my break I chatted to a Dutch girl called Molika who is here learning Spanish and doing volunteer ...

We all got up around 9ish and suddenly realised it wasn't warm. There was a tropical rainstorm and so it wasn't insufferably hot. We had breakfast and then walked around the jungle owned by Runawasi. The house and grounds only cost $18,000. We found a termites nest and an armadillo burrow. We then walked through the garden full of yuca, coffee and starfruit plants.

I got up early, chatted to my folks before heading off to school. My teacher today was Lucha who is great fun and I like her method of teaching. We did lots of exercises to drum the verbs into my head. I had a great hot chocolate on my break made by the woman in the little adjacent cafe. I chatted to the other students in the cold, shaded courtyard. Today the weather is cloudy and cold, the first time I've experienced this since I arrived. I continued l...
