Sailing with a Vancouver 28

School Starts

School started today.

I have to get up at 06:30 to get a shower before the rest of the house wake up. It is about a 40 minute walk into school and by leaving a bit earlier I can stop for a coffee on the way.

Our teacher is called Ivana and is a lovely girl pretty close to 6 feet tall with a dramatic presence. Women of that height are very rare here.

The school has a very nice atmosphere and the coffee keeps coming. I suspect most of the staff speak pretty good english but in the main there is a strict spanish only rule.

We start at 10:00, break at 12:00 for an hour and finish at 15:00.

Ivana has very clear diction and is clearly slowing the pace for us. I’m getting most of what she says.
