Since the beginning of September, Kavya’s had the whole house practicing Spanish as she does her dual-language Pre-K program. She’s picked up a remarkable amount in a short month — and she’s definitely faster at it than her mama, who took Spanish for five years in school and still can barely get by. So we decided it was time for some immersion.
We had a few specific criteria: not too far away (read: cheap tickets!), not too expensive (read: cheap tickets), yummy food, warm weather, and a Spanish-speaking culture that’s fun to explore. A beach and old school architecture? Bonus! With that wish list in place, it quickly became clear that we had one really solid option: Puerto Rico. And we wouldn’t even need our passports!
