Last day of my Spanish classes and umm can't really say that there's muchos Hablo's going on here, but it's a good foundation for my trip I think. I even got a certificate to prove I sat in a class for 20 hours this week...it doesn't actually say anything about merit :0 After class and the certificate ceremony Rona and I moved from upmarket central street "Florida street" to an area called Abasto.

Although the tourist area is relatively safe it is said...
