Spanish Only Today

Dave had to work and the kids were exhausted, so I headed out on my own to find us a place to live. The Metro is super-easy to navigate and with a map, it's pretty simple to find my way around the city. I walked for about 4 straight hours and listened to, spoke and read only Spanish. When Dave called me this afternoon, I insisted on speaking only Spanish. Tiring, but very important.

Details of the day: Proper greeting is an air "kiss" on one cheek. Also, some food items are sold in heavy plastic bags: mayo, yogurt, tomato sauce - even milk. Makes just want to step on them like a little ketchup packet.
