Salva Vida!
>> Thursday, August 14, 2008
Stopped by Karine and Tom's last night for a couple Salva Vidas (a rather tasty Honduran beer). As odd as it sounds to wander the neighbourhood in a foreign city to find the house (no street names or house numbers!) of a couple that you have never met and stop by for drinks, it actually wasn't strange at all. They are a super friendly couple who welcomed me into their home as if I was an old friend. Thanks guys!
My brain is starting to go a little mushy from the Spanish lessons, but I do feel like I am making some progress. I can actually express some of the things I want to say now. Sure my grammar and pronounciation are atrocious, but being understood and being able to understand basic essentials is all I am hoping for right now! I hope I can find some way to continue learning when I get home, although likely not until I leave Cold Lake for a larger city. By then I will probably have forgotten all I learned...
Am headed to the Expatriate Bar & Grill... must be a cold Salva Vida waiting for me there!

Hi Kat,
Glad to hear you've connected with people you know. As for the Spanish lessons, don't give up just yet....I believe someone was teaching Spanish in CL last winter. Wendy and I will be leaving for Quetico first thing Saturday morning and returning about Sept 1. In case I don't get on here again, have a wonderful holiday in the time you have left there.
Dad
It was great to meet you the other night. Thanks for stopping by!
