The Boy and I have come to learn a few things about Spain thus far. As I only have a few minutes at this internet cafe land in Grenada, I am going to make this quick, but writing on this site is easier than sending emails to everybody, so I�m actually saving time.
Anyhow. Here�s what we have learned:
1. When driving out of a Spanish city, don�t follow the signs. They have absolutely no logic to them. Just drive straight. You�ll get out eventually.
2. If you�re going to a castle in the middle of nowhere on the backroads, the scenery is going to be beautiful but the road will be windy. Be sure to count an extra hour or two into your previously figured time.
3. Sangria is absurdly tasty.
4. Spanish people are absurdly nice.
5. The two of us travel well together. Unless we forget to eat lunch, and then we become a little bit testy.
6. Sunglasses. Never forget your sunglasses.
7. Sunscreen. Never forget sunscreen.
8. Paella. Eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
9. In the little villages and stuff, people really don�t speak English. But, the good news is that...
10. I CAN ACTUALLY SPEAK SPANISH!!! These people understand me!!! I can ask questions and they can answer them and vice versa!!!! Someone made a joke yesterday and I understood and laughed!!! I hate exclamation points but LORDY LORDY LORDY, I CAN SPEAK SPANISH!!!!
That about sums it up. More to come. We have some wonderful pics already but I can�t load �em up here. I�ll just keep you all in suspense. And God, I hate Spanish keyboards. Adios.
Yay, spain. I never have to do spanish ever again cos I got a B! Woo hoo!
*ahem*, sorry about that, post-results jubilation..
It makes me so happy when I can make people laugh in a foreign language!!! Laugh with me rather than at me, that is!!! I wasn't going to use any exclamation marks but then you reminded me that you hate them!!!
That's too cool. I want to speak a foreign language fluently. Congrats. Have fun and be safe!
