In Spanish Culture
Greetings and Salutations
Abound Everywhere
The last day of September. Amazing that we began this month in Sri Lanka watching elephants, and now we are in the city of Madrid enjoying the sounds of Spanish being spoken on every corner. I enjoy just sitting next to Spanish parents at the playground and listening in on their conversation – not that I understand any of it, but I am pretending I am just a small toddler without words – listening and learning to speak my first words. I met a gut from Pampalona on the playground with his daughter. hopefully we can meet some Spaniards while we are here. We spent time at both playgrounds nearby. We had the playground to ourselves this morning. The school next door dismissed at noon and all the toddlers were freed and came and played this afternoon. The rains started, then the sun appeared. At 7:00pm, the Sun was still bright and we walked and played at the other playground. Ezra almost fell asleep – but I did not want him to have a siesta. Tried downloading some Spanish language applications to supplement my learning.
