BACK TO SCHOOL

So the last two weeks i have spent back at school gutemalan style, studying spanish and trying to get enough language to wander the country comfortably.
My school is amazing and very beautiful.At the base of a volcano (volcan San Pedro) there are these wonderfull gardens by the lake where you study outdoors under small huts.Its very tranquill and makes it a delight to rock up to school each day.Its also a motivating atmosphere to learn in.It was one on one classes four hours a day with my teacher julio pronounced hulio.He was a good little teacher so i learnt a fair bit from him in a small amount of time,muchas gracias julio,me gusta mi meistro.I also taught him a little too,especially about australia.At the start it was weird to study again as its been an absence of ten years from the books and school but once i got into it i really enjoyed the learning.As you can see from the photo's i also enjoyed sitting in an awesome place for four hours of the day.
The time after school was spent doing a little bit more study,more at he start than towards the end.But i was also swimming in the lake and practicing my new talent,backflips,off the rocks.One day i hired a kayak and paddled far towards the middle and once close i just sat in silence and took in the magic of it all.
The prices of classes were also ridicously cheap,100 bucks a week for classes and to live with a family with three meals a day.Good value.So i reccomend this spot for anyone travelling centro america and looking to study spanish.An awesome spot.
My spanish still isnt real good but im getting there,will probably do some more schooling in peru and hopefully by the end of my trip will be able to go on a date and speak spanish,Find a rich beautifull latin women,get married and stay here for another ten yearscleaning her house,ha.
