Week one in Antigua

Hello all. Things are going well in Antigua. Olga and I have been enrolled in Spanish classes from 8am to noon M-F and they are great. One on one lessons for around $5 an hour. Not a bad deal. We are staying in the student apartments which is making it easy to meet lots of people. The housing is $14 a day or so and includes all meals and the food has been great. I am still trying to shrug off the cold I came here with and stomach issues seem to be ever present but I guess that is to be expected with wussie american stomachs. Finally got our bags on Wednesday which was awesome. We have done a lot of after class activites and have been exploring the town and surrounding areas. This weekend we are going to Monterrico, a coastal town that is supposed to be beautiful, to lounge for a couple days. More to come later...
