Farewell Espana 2019



I'll miss the orange trees and palms of Seville, the bustle of Madrid, the charm of Zaragoza and the daring architecture of Bilboa.  And, of course, the food.  We've had incredible good luck in finding wonderful restaurants and markets.  Every day at the Triana Mercado around the corner from our apartment in Seville is a wonderful world of spices, cured meats, fresh bread and pastries being baked all amid the tumult of people shopping and eating and drinking and having loud conversations.
My Spanish has improved although I'm a long way from fluent.  I have picked up a lot of vocabulary and phrases that help me get by.  I can shop, order a meal, talk to the butcher and make my way on public transportation without any English so I'm feeling more comfortable with the language.  Until next time.  Adios.
