Having realised that a better grip of the Spanish language would be a VERY good thing, i've enrolled at a local language school. I've opted to spend the next 3 weeks studying hard in the vain hope that i'll also be able to order some food to go with my 2 beers :-)

I went down for a TEST this morning and came out as a level 2 student! Although not exactly sure what that means, I assume it means that I know what a verb is and have some vague idea about where it should go in a sentence. Anyway classes start on Monday so i'd better go and sharpen my pencils!

I assume that i'll have little to report over the next few weeks as i'll be head down in the books!

Just incase anyone was wondering exactly where Merida is, have a look in the map section over on the right :-)

I forgot to mention that Merida has the worlds longest and highest cable car system (teleferico) at 12.5 km long and 4765m to the top! Just though you might want to know - you never know when that will come up in a pub quiz :-)
