And now for another episode of...

THINGS I HAVE LEARNED IN SPAIN Vol. V

(okay this one is a little short but there are some good ones that I wanted to share before I forget them)


- There is nothing unmanly about wearing a pastel shirt or hoodie with a large daisy on the chest and/or back (actually it is probably Carhartt anyway)

- A “pretty tortilla” means an omelette of sorts with tuna. Apparently anything with “bonito” (Pretty or beautiful) in the title, includes tuna. Who knew tuna was pretty?

- If your husband tells you he’s going out for some “bimbos”, he’s not doing anything shady… he’s just picking up some bread or tea cakes from the store.

- Who cares about Britney Spears? Ronaldihno was picking his nose today in soccer practice! Now THAT is celebrity gossip!

- If someone tells you that a fat man touched them last night, you should congratulate them… it means they won the lottery.

- Spanish people go on diet and exercise programs to get rid of their “Michelins”

- If someone says they have “piel de naranja” (skin of an orange), it means they have a cellulite problem

- According to the Spanish, the American Past-time is getting into wars

- If you are trying to fool someone in Spain, you aren’t pulling their leg, you are pulling their hair.

- If you have a Hake (fish), then you must be drunk.
