So much for a day Spanish lesson were very funny, we completed an exercise with body parts and verbs. Sarah uses 'your mouth works a lot,' which our teacher loved and was trying hard not to laugh. We worked it out and joined in, this was followed by my arms work a lot also and when I got the word knees, Sarah asked me not to say they work to, so I said they were very sore.

After a walk around the streets looking for produce, we had big fresh wraps for lunch and we finished cleaning the house before Amira arrives home at 4am tomorrow morning. Sarah spe...

We got up before 8 and headed to a very local, cheap market Amira had told us about.
