Describe what a typical day in your life in Cali looked like.
As I want my daughters to learn Spanish, if we go to a Spanish country, we can't go without taking a Spanish course. So, the day starts with a good breakfast. Then, the Spanish lessons, and afterward, whatever they plan.

Yes, of course, definitely. We really enjoyed it, and we hope everyone can have a wonderful time like we did.
