Hola! Me llamo Shane. I guess that those were the first words I ever spoke in the Spanish language. They will not be my last. This trip has been an experience that I will always remember, from losing my bags in Miami to getting rained on at a play at the palace courtyard. Even the sour items have had a sweet lining. The missing bag caused no end of mirth and jokes of mañana, mañana, mañana, while the rained out play provided a long evening stroll with three lovely senorita’s. The classes, while sometimes confusing with students coming and going and playing musical classrooms, have been enjoyable and have increased my understanding of the language. I hope that I get the opportunity to try something like this again and can learn to laugh in Spanish.
