Becstarr : Rolling along and gathering speed

Since last I wrote, I've finished my glorious two weeks' leave and, to beat those end-of-leave blues, booked my next holiday. We fly out on May 28 and back in on June 30. We'll mainly be in Mexico & Cuba, with a few days in San Francisco on either side. I am finding myself mostly extremely excited (like when planning a picnic on the Xochimilco Canals) and fighting a griping Fear (like when I read travel insurance product disclosure statements and realise that I have 6.5 weeks to learn a lot more Spanish and get all my Semester 2 sites ready).

Becstarr : A slow girding

No boxing or pub in the end-- instead, went home and started learning (South American) Spanish! Señorita Cyn has lent me a CD to this end. While I don't think I'm likely to ask to go windsurfing any time soon, it does provide for lots of helpful rrrrepetition.... especially of the lovely rrrolling r's.
