I've been a teacher for 30 years, grades K-5, and currently direct Structured Learning Centers for kids with autism and multiple disabilities in The Dalles, Oregon. Gaining conversational ease in Spanish is an important professional and personal goal for me and attending Spanish schools in Latin America is a wonderful path to that end. I'm hoping to help others with their goals along the way.

Saturday in the mountains






Hi, all -
We had a fun, eventful day again today, hiking and birding in the mountains with our wonderful guide, Jorge Barraza. Everyone in the mountains was very friendly except the brahma bull who escorted us down the mountain before we intended to leave (I didn't stop to take a good picture but he was impressive). We enjoyed hiking (PHOTO 1), birding, learning about coffee production, taking in the mountain villages from the back of Jorge's pick-up, and gorging on delicious traditional food for breakfast and lunch in a rustic home (PHOTOS 2 and 3) in the village of Sesesmil. We also visited a beautiful plant business (PHOTO 4) and bought some rustic pottery pieces. PHOTO 5 shows the group of 12 and Jorge who enjoyed this memorable day together. Happy trails!
