I am actually getting a routine going for Spanish school. Find the Laundromat and note the hours. Get a gym membership. Stock up at the pharmacia. Locate the school. My instructor is Julia and she has what I need- patience… and enough English to give me instructions too complex for me to understand in Spanish. So far, I definitely like the Spanish academy of Antigua http://spanishacademyantiguena.com/
I have also noticed the traditional carrying of baskets on the head by women here. It seems to do wonders for ones posture. I don’t know what it does for ones spine. I have a suspicion that the women here are going old school with basket carrying largely for the tourists benefit. Men also use their heads to carry a load. Imagine a backpack where you unhook the straps and attach them in front around your forehead. This seems to work less well for ones posture.
Below is a pic of Rebecca, Olga’s mother. She is an excellent cook which is good since I eat breakfast, lunch and dinner here.
