The next day the son of the owner of the language school came up to me during my lesson and said I still hadn’t paid for the last week. I knew that wasn’t right and that he wasn’t on top of things. Luckily I still had all the receipts and could prove I didn’t owe … Continue reading Lots of yummy dinners and desserts, a cat and a unicorn
The next day I got up for breakfast but then straight back to bed again, as it was Saturday and I didn’t have a any lessons.

On Monday 26th February, I had Spanish lessons in the morning and after lunch I went to the laboratory to get my results. That’s what I saw on my way and I simply had to take a picture.

On Thursday 8th February, my Polish friend and I went to “La Azotea Centro Cultural y Museo”. We got lost on the way there but finally arrived just in time for a tour.

The first three days of the following week I spent a lot of time at the gym. As I’d signed up for a month’s membership, I was entitled to an assessment and finally found out how much weight I’d gained during my more than five months of travelling. It wasn’t too bad and according to … Continue reading Getting settled
On Sunday 28th January, I had breakfast at the rooftop terrace of a café with lovely views of all three volcanoes.

Then I spent around three hours chatting with my … Continue reading A perfect Sunday
On Friday 26th January, we finished my Spanish lesson by listening to the sad song “Casas de cartón” and I had to put the words in the right order.
