When I have the time, besides learning Spanish, I enjoy knitting, reading books, whittling, and dabbling in many other crafts -- but I'm not good at any of them. When I was a teenager, my parents took me traveling to several different countries: Norway, Egypt, and Israel, with layovers in Amsterdam. I loved it. I love experiencing and learning about different cultures. Now I'm married with three kids though, so I don't really have time. :D When they are older, my husband and I would like to travel across America, camping at the different national parks. I took a year of Spanish in high school. I've always enjoyed the language and wanted to finish learning it. Now I have a friend in Peru, and that gives me the incentive to finally do it.
