About this blog

We will embark on our Spanish language learning adventure in August after visiting family in the U.K. for a month.

Our first stop is Mexico where we'll spend a month at the Instituto Cultural Oaxaca. We'll travel to Nicaragua and Costa Rica in October then to Peru, Bolivia and Chile in November and December. We'll likely be in Argentina at Christmas and New Years and then back to Canada on January 16.
