Well, we just completed our first week of Spanish classes and I guess we are sounding a bit better. The teachers and our family are constantly helping us and I do feel like we have made some progress. What is worse though is that poor Tilghman can't speak English anymore.
Our typical day goes like this...
We wake up around 6:30 when the church bells ring, we have breakfast and then walk to school. On the way we stop at a bakery and pick up some yummy cookies to dunk in our coffee. We get to school and go meet our teachers. I am on the third floor terrace which has gorgeous views of the cliffs surrounding the town, Sully and Tilghman are in the garden and Alden is in the front room of the school. We study for 2hours and then get a 20 minute break. After the break Sully and I go back to work and the kids go wandering around town, to the lake, library or market with their teachers. At noon the church bells ring and we go home for lunch. In the afternoon we tool around town, play soccer in the alley and do homework. We usually go for a walk before dinner, down to the chocolate shop or stroll by all of the street vendors. Dinner is at 6:30 with the family. After dinner the kids usually play with the family dog and we go for ice cream across the street at Pana Cafe! We fall into bed around nine and sleep like rocks after a long day of speaking Spanish!
Today after school we walked to the little village next door. The highlight of that trip was standing up in the pickup truck for the ride home.
We have some trips planned to cross the lake this weekend so will write more later!
