When last we visited the book, Alex and his grandma Kate had just landed in Santa Maria de las Lluvias (Saint Maria of the Rains?). Since then so much has happened, oh boy.
( This is clearly a YA novel because of the pacing. It seriously chugs along, exciting thing after exciting thing. I am also NOT COMPLAINING about this because it makes for something of a page turner even when I struggle. )

Sep. 17th, 2020 12:43 pmI took Spanish in high school. My dad has a beach house in Mexico. (Not on the beach but you can see the beach from the house.) In the US, probably Spanish is the most useful language to learn. And so I am learning Spanish on my phone via Duolingo. It's OK, drills the verb tenses and stuff. I'm going along with it (something like 250 days in a row now) and chugging away at things like "Tu no respondiste mis cartas" and "No lo viste?". And that's fine. I kind of remember some stuff from high school and two semesters of college Spanish. Not tons, but some.
