Spanish Lessons

Have now more or less committed to the trip to Central America. Planning to leave on 5th January for San Jose in Costa Rica and spend the first 5-6 weeks as volunteers on a rainforest project in the north east of the country in Tortuguera National Park.
In preparation, I have signed up for Spanish classes at the local community college to brush up the language a bit. Slightly embarrassing on meeting the tutor to blag my way on to the intermediate course – couldn’t respond to her first three questions - had a complete blank as I haven’t spoken Spanish for at least a year and her questions didn’t refer to beer, wine or food.
Now busy revising in preparation for the first class which is on 6th Oct. Linda’s doing flower arranging which I’m sure will come in useful somewhere along the line though not necessarily in Central America – but then you never know…
