After the first week of our trip, which we spent sick, we got crackin' on our Spanish.
We took a one week course with BA Spanish Program. It's been amazing how much we have learned in the last week. Getting a room in a house with native Spanish speakers who speak a little English has also significantly helped to speed the learning process.
While our little house wasn't as clean or as "nice" i.e. new and modern as our hostel (America del Sur), we liked staying at the hose as lot more. It was cosier, prettier, and we really enjoyed having more privacy and comforts that kind of made it like home with housemates that we got to know better than our hostel mates who often only stayed a couple of nights. Not to mention we had an amazing multicourse BBQ on the rooftop terrace with chicken heart/necks/liver, pork chops, 1/2 chicken, filet mingon, NY striploin and to finish it all off BBQ'd bananas, pineapple and mango. Needless to say we didn't move for a while.
Stay tuned for pictures with this post.
Now, we are off to Cordon del Plata to do some trekking in the mountains, just east of Aconcogua.
Chau,
Janice
