Back to school

Today was my first day in Spanish school!  I am going each day this week for 4 hours a day.  The school is located in Playa del Carmen in a Hacienda-style hotel:

There are four other people in my class, all much younger than me (travelling after leaving school/university); two from Holland, one from Germany and one from Canada.  I had to take an evaluation before being assigned a class and have to say I felt like I did not know a thing as the German girl and I were placed into the class today but the other three had been studying since last week.  Very little English is spoken the whole time we are there.  OMG…

We have a 30 minute break in the middle so I took the time to walk through Playa and down to the beach.

We called into the Chedruai supermarket on the way back to PA and found some freshly made empanadas in the bakery for less than 60c each.  Essentially a savoury puff pastry with different fillings. A great lunch and I have spent the afternoon trying to read through the first part of the workbook that I missed.

Wish me luck for tomorrow... adios!
