Vacationed Out

I was walking through La Fortuna and came upon a language school, and after getting them to knock a hundred dollars off the price, I decided to have a week more of classes as a refresher and to answer the questions I have come across as I delve deeper into Spanish.
It has gone well. I´ve been the only student in my classes and I get a sense of where I will need to go to further master the language, e.g. learning more idiomatic expressions and developing a richer vocabulary. It really is starting to be pretty automatic, natural, where I don´t have to think too much to speak the Spanish of the day-to-day. The investment seems to be paying off.
I guess I´ve retired from being vagabundo de la playa for a while, but I didn´t feel like getting on the bus for my last few days in the country even if meant going to another beach. I´m not really doing anything adventuresome for my last few days in Costa Rica other than I may take my by now super-suave salsa skills out of the classroom and into the discoteca (¡Tengan cuidado todos que bailan, si a Uds. les gustan sus pies!).
