  Description

  Hello There, my name is Cindy and I would like to take my Spanish Studies to the next level. I am looking for someone to come and live with me for the month of May (somewhat flexible on the dates) and immerse me in Spanish. Along with some formal learning, it would be fun to speak Spanish while do some of the things I enjoy doing:
  
  - Hiking - I belong to a hiking group and we hike 3 times a week for 3-4 hours each time, there are lots of hiking trails up in the mountains behind my place.
  - Gardening - I have a number of large plant pots that I need to fill with plants and flowers.
  - Cooking/Baking - we could cook meals/desserts together, and freeze them for future meals.
  - Board games - I love to play games and cards, we could sit and play.
  - Puzzles - if you enjoy doing them
  - Reading - we could pick a Spanish Book and read it together.
  - Netflix - we could find a Spanish Series and watch it together.
  - Long walks - around Ajijic, it is a quaint beautiful town with lots of interesting architecture, flora and fauna a 100’s of beautifully painted murals.
  - Cultural Center - We could go to some shows
  - Day trips - there are lots of places to see and do things
  - Music in the Park - the Lake Chapala Society holds beautiful outside music events
  - Lake Chapala Society has gorgeous grounds where we can just enjoy sitting in their gardens and looking at the fish in the ponds
  - Waterfront - there are beautiful waterfront Malecon's where we can stroll and chat
  - Arts and Crafts - we could go to a painting or stained glass class
  - I have a tiny Yorkie dog named Oscar, and he will go everywhere with us, he is adorable and loves to go wherever I go and do whatever I am doing
  
  All of this while we chat in Spanish. Perhaps we could even buy some school books so I could do some actual lessons. I really want to immerse myself in the experience. Your assistance would be invaluable to me. Does this sound like something you would enjoy doing for a month?
  
  I very much look forward to your reply.
  
  Cindy
