In lieu of Bike Ride Day 5, we went back to Barcelona for a final day. Some observations:
Translations
In some cases, English translations are right on. In others, they are either puzzling or brilliant to the point that they're over my head. Given that Spain is an affluent, educated country with access to an unlimited number of English speakers, I'll assume the latter.
This is an excellent and precise exact translation. Good job.
These two, I'm not so sure about.
And keeping with the linguistic theme, Martha has asked me to mention that "cerveza," which deals with liquid going in, sounds very similar to "servicio," which refers to liquid going out. She has concluded that the words must have the same origin. I don't agree.
There is only one mood allowed here in Barcelona.
Martha has been lugging this blue water bottle around for a week and a half since we were served water from it our first night here. If you see it at our house, please make a point to mention how pretty it is and ask where we got it.
