Not keen on turning fifty, the author accepts there's nothing she can do about it, so she decides to take a whole week to celebrate this milestone. Then she changes careers. Not only to a different profession but by moving to a different country.
Getting to Mexico is a challenge in itself. But upon her arrival, she experiences many more challenges, the least of which is her lack of Spanish. With the help of new-found friends and an adventuresome spirit, she tackles these challenges with determination and an open mind.
Challenging too are her interactions with her students. But who learns more in the end? The teacher or the students?
