Also, a bonus that might interest Latin Americanists: Laramie offers dual-language immersion (Spanish/English) in a K-5 public elementary school. My kid goes there, so I'm happy to answer questions about that, too.

My daughter lost a tooth. I scrambled to find some money to put under her pillow and could only find a two euro coin. She was *elated* because "it means we are going back to the Netherlands!" I am on the hook for a European vacation because I couldn't find a quarter.
