This is it – last day!!!

By Kiyoko I. – Guestblogger from Cordoba
I talked to Nelida during the last hour at the house. What a difference eh? First day, I couldn't even squeeze a word out of my brain and I couldn't pick up much word when she spoke to me. She is so sweet. The time came and I hopped into the taxi. The driver was really nice too – we chatted about driving in Córdoba. The ride was only $20…crazy cheap. As I talked with Nelida, I got Havana's dulce de leche with the leftover money. . And now, with no peso left, it was time for me to say ‘chau' to Córdoba.
I really didn't know what to expect since I didn't know anyone who's done this but it turned out to be a great experience. I was worried of gimmicky banking-on-tourist things but the school sincerely helps you learn the language while maintaining a good social atmosphere. Students are also there with a similar goal and it was easy getting to know them. Extraño a Córdoba mucho y espero que volver allá pronto…
