Publisher's Synopsis
Imagine if your first possibility after college graduation was working for the US Dream Team at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain! The only requirement was to be conversational in Spanish...the author was not. This is the true account of his Spanish-learning quest through Mexico and Central America, including culture shock with a host-family in Mexico, tutoring English at an orphanage in Honduras and dangerous excursions in Costa Rica. In the second part, he reaches Barcelona, Spain to work as a 'runner' for the US Dream Team at the Hotel Ambassador for the historic 1992 Olympics. Anecdotes include trying to find waffles for Magic and translating Spanish for Clyde Drexler. Also included are 12 'DREAMTEAMisms', or learnings from each player.
