JUST RETURNED FROM GUATEMALA
Kay is recently back from leading our second On The Road trip to Guatemala...what a success!  Our first trip of this type was to Chiapas, Mexico, and we thought it couldn't be topped.  But the beauty and interesting sites of Guatemala wowed all our participants.  This trip was followed by Peru and a Chiapas repeat...both outstanding.  Personally I really enjoyed having past Language Link students as part of the groups, as well as people from my current hometown of Cuernavaca.

RECENTLY IN SPAIN
Meredith and I were parts of two different groups from 25 countries recently invited to Spain as the guest of the government tourism department.  The purpose was to have us learn more of Spain, Meredith in Andalucia and me in  Madrid and Salamanca, and to be further introduced to Spain's wine and food.  It gave us the opportunity to meet with all our schools there and better prepare for your trips. 

NEW PROGRAMS

We are quite slow to add new schools, as we like to remain very personalized and completely knowledgeable with our service.  But we do have some new additions.  Check out Valencia and Granada in Spain.  We have also added the Amauta school in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

GROUPS heading out are more numerous than ever! 2011 saw many college students and high school groups to our programs in Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Argentina, Peru and Chile. These include the University of Wisconsin at Green Bay and Madison, Lindenwood University, Martin Luther College,  American Council of International Studies,  many high schools, Austin College, ...just to name a few.  We  had wonderful tracks for business, medicine, and educationl education majors in our Cuernavaca program, and several corporate groups.  We also had a great group of diabetes educators.  Many are already preparing return groups among their colleagues.  We have upcoming groups seeing the vineyards of Chile and playing on the beaches of Costa Rica...all these adventures enjoyed while they're learning Spanish.  What exciting opportunities for all!
