Dear outraged veggie Sorry Lu, I wasn't joking about the Guinea Pig! Today I ate "papas con cuy merida". Only half a guinea pig, if that's any consolation. You could see the teeth, the ears and it's little claws. Tasted a bit like chicken, but wasn't too keen.
(When I get to Peru, I'll be trying Llama)

Estoy de acuerdo Petey,
Glad to hear you're there safe and sound.
You'll be pleased to know that the año/ano pitfall was 1 of the 1st that I learnt too... I do enjoy so much saying "Feliz Cumpleanos" to someone, they always laugh ;@)
No puedo esperar hasta podemos tener un conversación en Castellano
Here's a good saying to impress your teacher ;@) don't know if they use it there but in Spain they do. So when you say "guay" (meaning "cool", not referring to temperature, cool as in cool dude) you can say "guay del Paraguay"

Hilarious! Pete, this is one of the funniest things I have read in AGES!! Glad to hear you're having a great time, I look forward to the next installment!!
Suerte Hola chico
Te deseo mucho suerte en tu viaje! Yo tambien disfrute aprendiendo espanol! Antes de tu salida, no tuvimos mucho tiempo porque yo pudiera darte consejos para tu viaje pero segura que lograras!
Mientras en Quito, intenta irte a Otavalo y lago Cuicocha - es solo dos horas de la ciudad y es muy lindo. Y tambien vete a el bosque de Mindo - es excelentes.
Ahora me instale de vuelta en Londres con el clima fea - me extrano mucho america del sur pensandole mucho. Pero parece que pueda empezar trabajr el lunes!

Outraged veggie! Please tell me you're joking about the guinea pig??!! (p.s. you're spanish sounds like it's coming along brilliantly! there are also several other words you have to be careful with too though, spanish for cushion is similar to two other spanish words, all of which you have to be very careful not get mixed up (my useless memory fails me at the moment at to the other two!)
WTF ? Bloody 'ell - when I left blighty (less than 2 years ago) you didn't even like footy - let alone support a football club - who are you and what have you done with our mate Pete ?
