At last, I have a website. I have procrastinated on this far too long and it is hard to believe that it has been more than a month since I left Boston on a bitterly cold February morning.
I am in Buenos Aires at the moment starting my third week of Spanish lessons. I spent the first two weeks here at a schooled called IBL that I had read about on a number of other traveler’s blogs. I was enrolled in group classes at IBL which held about 5-7 people on average. The classes were pretty useful but after a couple of weeks I decided that one-on-one tutoring is probably a better fit for me. Much of the grammar is coming back to me (I did take 4 years of Spanish in high school!) but I am in dire need of conversational practice, especially when it comes to the rapid and heavily-accented Spanish spoken by the porteños.
I will be here in Buenos Aires until the 21st of March taking classes after I will be heading south towards Bariloche. Expect some posts over the next few days about my experiences in Paraguay, South America’s least visited country!
In the mean time, I would encourage you to check out some of the photos that I have posted as well as the map which I will keep updated with my route.

You probablay don’t remember me, but I am a former Lee Middle School teacher, during the time of Chris Bress, Kristy Lavis, Teron Jackson,etc.I was a LA teacher, and I’m pretty sure you were Janice Charles’ student. I sure do remember what a great student you were and ALL of the outstanding things that you did as a middle school student. Chris and Teron forwarded your website to me. I am SO VERY HAPPY for you. You ARE living your Lif’e's ADVENTURE now!
