My Spanish class went at a million miles per hour, which means we probably covered four million miles in total. We cantered through how various present and past tenses are used, and I curated a collection of new vocabulary not just to recognise, but to master.
My teacher, Nelson, is a legend. He runs the class almost exclusively in Spanish and made sure I was constantly bombarded with new material if I understood what we’d covered. If I had to make a montage of our lesson, it would be set to the famous section of the William Tell Overture.
So starts un poco routine for Dan and I. I have four hours of class until 12.30 pm and then we meet for lunch and afternoon adventures. Today was exploring the Templo de San Felipe Neri y Iglesia La Merced – two of the city’s many churches and both with outstanding, unobstructed rooftop views. One’s always reminded that they’re not in Australia when there are no railings.
For sunset, we joined Yulia and Alex (our Atacama friends!) at the Recoleta lookout. It’s not just Yuli and Alex that we keep bumping into – there’s a number of different travellers and families we see time and time again in different cities.
We’re now booked to stay here until next Wednesday, so don’t be disappointed if all the stories are from sweet Sucre for a while.
