Hola! Finally a few minutes at a computer in Chorrera...We have a day in town today for meetings and limited time for shopping, etc. It´s a nice break from the heat, humidity and family in Santa Clara. There are 3 brothers (9, 13, 14) in my family, and their attention (especially from the 9 year old) is constant. It´s tiring to speak Spanish right now, but I´m anticipating a time when I´ll not only be able to understand people in my family and the community, but respond coherently with full sentences! Tech and language training are intense, 4 hour sessions, long, but necessary. So far, an enjoyable yet overwhelming experience!
