Montanita!

I have been in Montanita since Sunday night and I am now feeling a bit of the fatigue that goes along with non-stop action packed planning. Yesterday was a full day of 4-hour Spanish lessons and two-hour surf lessons. I am exhausted! Montanita is amazing. It is literally like a flashback to 1972. It's a small surf town with locals and foreigners playing music barefoot in the streets, selling jewelry, and riding down the street on beach cruisers, carrying surfboards. The food is international and there are plenty of vegetarian options, which I am extremely thankful for. The downside is that it is winter here and so it’s pretty cold and rainy, not to mention grey, but the weather changes here and we are supposed to have sun tomorrow

Today I am just trying to relax a little, maybe go to yoga, and have an early night. I am eager to check out the schools here and also explore some of the Northern Coast that harbors an amazing island that is very similar to the Galapagos, but a fraction of the price.


The language acquisition process is different for everyone, but one thing that I think is universal is the immersion process and the headaches it brings. Today my head is feeling fine, which I know means I haven't been listening to or talking enough Spanish, but like I said, I need a little break. Entonces, right now this is all I have. I will take some pictures tonight and tomorrow and will hopefully be visiting the schools here next week.
