Guatemala bound
Ever since I moved to California in 2005, I've been wanting to learn Spanish but I wasn't sure how to go about it. A few months ago I heard about these schools in Antigua, Guatemala that offer very flexible and inexpensive Spanish immersion programs that combine individual lessons with field trips and a chance to stay with a local family. I then spent the next few months trying to convince friends to make the trip with me. This weekend I was at a party when I overheard one of my friends mentioning that she too wanted to learn Spanish in Guatemala but couldn't find a travel buddy. You can bet I jumped on that pretty fast! Consequently, we're both going to Antigua, Guatemala for a couple of weeks starting in early August and will be taking classes at one of the Spanish schools there.
