[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously. If I have the wherewithal to enroll my child in a Spanish immersion program, either by lottery, or scraping together resources to find an apartment in bound for a DCPS, by all means I can also find a way to frugally immerse ourselves via travel as well.

No real sympathy for above poster who might prioritze say starbucks over travel.  We skip the daily luxuries, but are willing to fly Spirit or Jetblue to go to Latin America during summer vacation. Cost of flights and accomodations can be found to be lower than camp in DC. If you have more than one child, even more feasible due to camp costs x 2. (Vs. a condo in Cartagena for $50 per day)

I want more people, both heritage and not, to learn languages, appreciate the arts, fight for social justice and just get along. Doesn't seem to be too much to ask for really.[/quote]

You had me until Cartegena. LOL![/quote]

NP.  Why? Cartagena is a beautiful city and full of stuff to do for tourists, as is Medellín.  If you want to see what civic leadership can do to transform a city, visit Medellín and ride the cable car up to the Spanish library.[/quote]
