Finished my first week of spanish school. Im doing 4 hours per day 5 days a week from 8am till noon. Im more confused now than when i began as have loads more words floating around in my brain. I can hold a brillant conversation with a local as long as the extent of the conversation is hello, how are you, what is your name and where are you from. Anything beyond this and it all goes downhill from there. Im thinking of starting a school for international travelling sign language so no words are needed its got me by up till now. Im hoping one day in the next three weeks i will wake up and it will all fall into place and i wont be tongue tied or spitting on my teacher trying to get out some spanish phrase. I learnt today that one word for hot describes food or drinks and not how you feel. In that case it means you are horny. Also a slightly different pronounciation of the word aņos (year) means anus. So this anus does not have 366 days in it. Oh how i make my teacher laugh. Well i hope everyone is well, am heading off to the irish pub (yes every town in the world has one and Antigua is no exception) for a cold beer. Write more soon. Adios

Hmm...
However, I think this year actually DOES have 366 days in it (leap year?)
