Its been 2 wks and time is moving on.
Last weekend my cousin Dianne and her friend " Miss Babs" and I have been to Park Guell, Tibidabo, Casa Batillo. We've heard Spanish Guitars and had drinks on rooftops. We have been to TNTC tapas bars, and restaurants. I have not had a bad meal. Just look at at me in the photos as the weeks have progressed. Its a little
tight in the 1000ft apartment, but we seem to be handling it.
I'v now finished 2wks of Spanish. I wouldn't wish this experience on my worst enemy. Really, an attempt for a foreign language for a 60+ guy is f'nn crazy. Although I am miserable when I leave class every day, the girls say I am speaking more and more when we go out. Last night, our street decided to show a film; their idea of a block party. It was an American film with Spanish subtitles. I recognized all the words and most of the phrases. Maybe Im learning more than I think.
There are several photos of the interior of the house Gaudi designed for the Botello Family.

It's a process. I was disenchanted from time to time and wanted to just say "screw it!". Keep at it, it will get better.
ReplyDeleteA friend once told me that you struggle, struggle, struggle and the all of a sudden a light goes on and you suddenly find yourself understanding and speaking. It just happens he said. In fact that is what I experienced.
Glad you made it to Tibidabo! The view from there is amazing!
