Crystal Learns Spanish

When life gives you lemons... make lemonade. When work gives you the ultimatum... go to Costa Rica to learn Spanish! My mom says my life "is a do-over". Im not so sure about that. But the opportunity has come in my mid 30's to do something I’ve dreamt of for years; travel abroad and learn the Spanish language. This blog is for my friends and family to enjoy the tales of my experience.

Friday:
Spanish Level: I had a terrible day at school. I am just starting to feel confident I know enough to speak and today in class we had a day of nothing but drills and practice with verbs and phrases. It was actually a very good exercise for 20 minutes but after 4 hours I felt so stupid I burst into tears after class.

I got home that evening and the progress on the 2nd floor is now about 20 planks 60 ft long, all trimmed out and looking good. Wilbert is very proud so far. The wood Wilbert had saves is all used up, he will be getting more but not until Wednesday next week so Geraldo is going home for the weekend. He lives near San Jose, about 3.5 hours away.

We were all just about to go to bed and apparently Geraldo had come over to tell Carmen that Kimba, the family dog, was hurt and hiding under some other wood Wilbert is saving for another project. Stephanie and Carmen tried to get Kimba to come out they called and called but he wouldnt come, they got a flashlight and a broom and finally coaxed him out. It looks like he has been hit by a car or a motorcycle. He was limping and had some pretty bad cuts and scrapes. Carmen doctored him up for the night and they will take him to the vet in the morning. His leg seems to be broken or maybe his back? I dont think I can take a dog dying while I’m here.

Speaking of dogs. Rusty is doing great... We walk with him daily. He is still his usual reluctant self when we get ready to go walking.
