Learning Spanish at Rancho Margot

We found a smooth boulder to set down our things beside the riverbank. The morning light warmed my skin as I began my Spanish lesson. Lorena had tight, bouncy black curls and a smile to match. She listened patiently as I stumbled over verb conjugations and danced around words I didn't know, but she understood. She responded in kind, helping me find the right words and correcting my grammar while I scribbled in my notebook. By then, I'd filled its pages.
