Montezuma Waterfalls

A fellow hiker pegs us for exactly what we are, and we have to laugh.

Spanish “Immersion”

Spanish “Immersion”

It’s hard to speak Spanish here. I’ll be honest—you don’t need it.

The “Fogata” and the Mysterious “Marbombiscos”

The “Fogata” and the Mysterious “Marbombiscos”

I still wasn't sure what was being served over the fogata, but we couldn't go empty-handed, so Lyon ran to the store to get cookies and beer.

Raising a billingual kid in your non-native language

This blog is meant to document my experiment in raising a bilingual child. There are many different scenarios that multi-lingual families find themselves in. Our is this: both my husband and I are native English speakers and that’s what we speak to each other. I speak to our daughter 99% of the time in Spanish with my non-native fluency. My husband speaks to her in English, but has studied Spanish and understands quite a bit.
