Translation of plaster in Spanish

The entrance hall where the passports were checked was renovated and had many ads for products from Western countries. Once we passed it and picked up our luggage we were looking for a ride into the city.
Well I take Spanish classes in college, that's the only useful language they offer, but if they had French I would be taking French. It sounds so nice. I have been lazy lately and I'm not really good at it.
The next two hours we were busy with moving our stuff to our new place and organizing our trip to Machu Picchu for the next day.
