Hey all,
I am leaving tomorrow for the Canary Islands! I am super excited it is a minimum temperature of about 70 degrees there and a parallel with the Sahara desert so I am hoping for warmth on the beach. Few random thoughts before I go...
Why do the Spanish put their light switches on the outside of rooms. I am constantly walking into the bathroom and have to walk back out to turn on the light. Plus I feel like this is a teenager/ college students worst nightmare for pranks. I guess if you need to get someone out of the bathroom you can just leave them in the dark.
bananas...platanos I still don't understand the difference. I thought I knew I was told I was wrong, but no one can give me an explanation other than "they are from the Canarys they are platanos"
The ñ is actually an old short hand symbol for nn. It was used in the monasteries when monks use to copy mostly bibles but other documents. They would use this short hand for the letter combination as well as many others, however this is the only one that has been historically maintained by the Spanish. It has become a cultural identity for Spain since the world España contains it.
Thanks all for now!
Happy Weekend and Fat Tuesday!
I will surely have pictures when I return back here!

Ahhh, the Canary Islands, I can't wait to see those pictures! That 19,600 ft. climb certainly does deserve a reward! I love this feature, that you can post it and someone can read it at anytime. Savor this my dear, as I know you are! Scrapbook, start one, we'll look at it on Christmas Day! P.S. The Lucky Strikes at the top of the mountain, want to know what that was? Trust me, they were left there by someone that said, "I quit"!!
Hey Erika, it's me Betty, still perplexed with this much space..missed a step..
