Xala Who

My three week stay in Xala has finally come to an end, and it is time to pack up (again) and head off for the next adventure. So what will I miss about Xala:

My host family, mi amigos Luis and Ingrid, mi abuelita Gabriella and mi hermano Luis Fe.

My salsa teacher, who every day risked having his feet trod on, close calls for elbows to the face.... all in an attempt to teach me salsa. Also the salsa clubs, boy can these latin american chicos move!

The amazing chocolate caliente. You haven`t tasted hot chocolate until you have had a hot chocolate at Cafe Luna.

The terrimotos (earthquakes). I experienced a small one on my first week and throught the nearby volcano was errupting.

The weather. Four seasons all in one day - bit like Melbourne really.

The food. I am officially addicted to tortillas and frijoles.

My Spanish School. I especially enjoyed the graduate dinner, with speeches and all!

The chicken busses. Found out that there are companies specifically to decorate the buses, talk about 'pimp my rid'. Although did not enjoy sharing my seat with a whole family (mum, dad and 3 kids!).
