Add a day and a few centuries and we're in Spain enjoying Barcelona. Whew! We can finally understand some of what is being spoken around us. Understanding even a little bit of the language has brought so much more depth and enjoyment to our travel. We even went and saw a movie in Spanish with no english subtitles and totally understood what was going on! Impressive, right?
Bullfighting is now banned in Spain so this arena now houses a modern shopping center which is where we watched 'Buscando a Dory'.
We have adopted Dory as our patron saint here in Spain. If you haven't seen the film, Dory has some memory problems and as the story unfolds we see how she connects the seashells to find her way home. Not unlike our Spanish, we are constantly trying to connect the dots between the words we understand and consequently make some sense of what is going on around us. It can be challenging and hysterically funny at times!
