Spanish

All of a sudden, I was hearing lots of Spanish again.

We had a tour of the Amsterdam city centre led by a Catholic father today. He's Dutch but conducted the tour in Spanish. I began to pick up bits and pieces of what he's saying. For example, when he explained why the windows at the lower floor were larger than the upper one, I was able to understand the second reason: to let the sunlight in.

I also started speaking with my new Colombian and Chilean friends with a some Spanish words, while trying hard to understand what the Chilean woman was saying in Spanish.

For dinner, we had Spanish cuisine. All were nice and fine. It made you feel that money did matter.
