Una sorpresa

A Surprise 

Yesterday,  I was out biking and in a moment of indecision about the best timing to cross the busy highway, I fell with my bike. My thumb took the brunt, and I realized later that it was not the day to attempt to wash my clothes by hand. I finished by pressing the water out of them, rather than by wringing them. They took a little longer to dry, but I had clean 'darks' again. 

As an aside, I did overly much thinking on preparing for this trip on how to reduce the amount of baggage I was taking. I finally got it down to two carry on bags, one which I checked. It was largely enough. In fact, I planned very well. Pat on back, given. 

I took some random photos yesterday, a day I spent mostly reading. Just disappeared for hours into a book. Rather nice break from my usually fairly physically active days. 

Un moment de placer, cuando escuchaba una lectura de un sitio Web, Practical Spanish. Yo la escuchaba 3 veces, pues hice un dictado.  Lo hice muy bien. Estaba en un café en lado de la plaza central.


A muchacho (young boy) thinks of a creative way to make money - giving out 'fortune-cookie type 'fortunes for a bit of change. Mine was quite positive. :-)

A moment of pleasure when I listened to a lecture from the web site, Practical Spanish. I listened 3 times and then did a dictation I did very well I was in a cafe beside the central square.
