Sucre, sun and spanish

Back from the last day of school! It was even a bit sad when we said good bye to our spanish teacher Cecilia... Over the last two weeks she tried with patience and a good sense of humour to fill our old brains with spanish words, grammar and other useful stuff. The school has become a familiar place, so has our amazing hostel, Casa Verde. For the first time of our travels we stayed over a longer period in the same place and it felt so good! No rush, no planning ahead and no bookings that had to be done (except several flights in the next couple of months).

We didn't do as much as usual in and around Sucre except for the spanish course every morning for 4 hrs and the daily swim in the hostel pool (if you have one, you better use it). One afternoon we went up the hill to the Mirador, a viewpoint, and enjoyed the sunset over Sucre with a glass of fresh pressed passionfruit juice... More than one time we passed by 'Chocolate para tí', Annis favourite store in Sucre... On a sunday we took a bus to Tarabuco, a little village with earth coloured houses and a famous sunday market for handicrafts. A highlight was the dinosaur park opposite a huge wall with over 5000 footprints of different kinds of dinosaurs.

 

After the first week we met Adam, a brilliant guy from the States, he became a good friend and we spent hours with discussions, nights out and shared more than a couple of big glasses of Sureña Stout beer...

After almost 3 weeks it felt weird to pack our backpacks again and head to the chaotic bus terminal of Sucre to board our overnight bus to Cochabamba. Sucre has been a fantastic place with fantastic people, the perfect place to settle down for a while and study spanish! We highly recommend Sucre!
