We were woken up at 4am and heard the rain splashing off our tent, we drifted off to sleep and were again awoken at 5.30am by the porters offering us a welcome cup of tea in metal cups.

Today I got up really early for my Spanish class and walked up to the beautiful area of San Blas where my Spanish school is. I met Rosita and Bridgitte outside the school and then walked the short distance to our classroom. Adriana then taught us the imperfect preterite tense and the various uses of the tense.
