About this blog

In the 1990s, I thought about going to Mexico to learn Spanish at an immersion school. I got a little sidetracked and let it slide. Finally, I decided to take advantage of my triumphant return to high school and the resulting summers off to actually try to learn Spanish.

This travel blog will chronicle my summer 2007 trip to Guatemala and whether I actually manage to figure some Spanish. I hope I can learn enough that I can get around Guatemala on my own!
