Spanish lessons at La Casa Rocker

The weekend after our first Spanish lesson was a fairly mixed bag - we attended the legendary friday night La Casa Roja barbeque, spent most of the weekend doing the ton of homework we had been given and attended the Museum of Pre-Columbian Art on sunday. The following week we had lessons from...
