WALKING AND TALKING AND TALKING AND TALKING...

Today was my 5th day in America. Today I was almost 12 hours inmerse in american language ... well, sometimes I'm no sure at all if all these people speak english or if I landed in a basque colony and they speak basque with american accent... any way I'm going to learn their language.
A hectic (ajetreado) day.

  9:00 - 10:00 - I watched TV. About 200 channels. Some of them are incredible.
10:00 - 11.00 - I talked to Deb.
11:30 - 14:30 - I had lunch in Tamarindo's Restaurant. We were 14 people. We celebrated "el 5 de Mayo".
14:30 - 16:30 - I took a walk in the woods, along a creek with Betsy and Howard and his dog Tasha. At the begining we saw a goose   (ganso), but later we saw a lot of geese (gansoS) ans swan (cisne), a racoon (mapache)... and a car crash.

                     
                       The flowers were in full bloom (plena floración) 
                       They showed to me a POISONOUS plant, whit 3 leaves ( =hojas, leaf=hoja), and told me:

                            " LEAVES OF THREE  ..., LET THEM BE"
                                   (Si tiene tres hojas, ni la toques)

                        If you want know more, click below and see the picture.


16:30 - 18:30 - We raked the leaves and talked to Betsy in her yard
19:00 - 21:00 - I had dinner whit Doug and Joan and planned what to do in Friday........ Surprise, surprise ¡¡

I'm afraid. Yesterday, i couldn't comment your entry. From you depart on friday, we have not seen the sun. We have restored the coat from wardrobe.
It was a very "natural" day. I'm refreshing (may be I must say updating) my vocabulary.

¡Queremos detalles! ¿Que tipo de comida? ¿Cuanto cuesta una cena? ¿Que vale una caña? ¿Es verdad que el refresco ese Dr.Peeper es asqueroso? Si te tenemos destinado en USA es pa algo, brotel......

For the glory of my mother qué casoncio tiene la mujer, muy bonita la casa sí señor, se tiene que dejar el sueldo para mantener el jardín.

Por cierto un "car crash" no es ningún animal ¿no?.

Curioso el refrán, ya sabes, no te pongas a comer hojas de los árboles.

Un saludo,

Miguel.
