Keegan, who I was in Antigua with for a week, started work today. He’s been in Spanish school in Copan for a week, but I haven’t seen him. We are now right at the bottom of the side road we’ve been on since Thursday. The local guys did most of […]
spanish school
1 I decided to have a change of scene today and sat in the very pretty garden at Casa de Todo (the internet café/souvenir shop/café/launderette) to do my homework. At school I told Karla about Toy Story, then we did more work on pronouns, and then moved onto the preterite tense […]
Gecko In My Room/Ramon
I’m going to Agua Caliente (natural hot springs up in the mountains) today with people from the school, so no swimming this morning. And half an hour less Spanish cuz we have to leave at 5pm. Spent the morning feeling very lonely and fed up. I feel so pathetic cuz […]
Emotional Rollercoaster/Agua Caliente
Robin and I walked down to the hotel this morning and went for a swim. It’s only about 12 metres long so I don’t get too tired, and can swim quite a few lengths! It’s not exactly strenuous but at least it’s exercise! And they have hot, powerful showers. It’s […]
Swimming
I met Robin, Rachel and Grace (who are only here for the day) outside Guacamaya (our Spanish school, owned by Kike) to go to the Ruins. Our guide, Maurizio, a friend of Kike’s, also met us there and we all walked down the road to the ruins. They were pretty […]
Ruins
Thank God tomorrow is my last day of Spanish School! I’m so fed up with it. I know I’ve got another week in Honduras, but I’m just hoping I’ll have someone who can speak more English. Today was pretty rubbish for the most part, but got better by the late […]
Dia Malo y Dia Bueno
Downside of not going to sleep til ‘late’ is being tired in the morning. Learnt lots and lots of verbs today. I know how to say almost anything in the present tense. Difficult to put into conversation though since most people want to know what you have done or what […]
Verbos!
Whilst lying awake at 5am (still falling asleep too early hence the ridiculous hour) and going through my Spanish, it dawned on me that all of yesterday, I was learning ‘ser’ (to be) and all the questions I was answering were ‘I am’, ‘you are’, ‘he is’, etc. I can […]
Bored
Puppies being born meant people in the house being up late, which meant I didn’t sleep well. Woke up cuz I could hear voices and thought I was late for breakfast. It was 2.30am. I couldn’t get to sleep for ages, then woke up at 7am, entangled in my bedsheets. […]
