Thinking in Spanglish


It occurs to me, as I sit here sipping hot café, that my blog lacks an accent. Until now, I haven't written one word in español. Now there are two. Some will argue that café is etymologically not a Spanish word. They're right. But it gives my blog sazón, spice, accent.

Henceforth, it won't be just about me: although these will be my thoughts, my views, my opinions. I shall keep my readers, public, and fellow bloggers in mind. With that in mind, hasta cuándo, Fidel, hasta cuándo? Ya no aguanto más!

Excuse my sudden outburst. I am, after all, Latin.

As for my review of McD's in Pacific Grove, California...you see one, you've seen them all, give or take. This one will be memorable because it was here that I sat down, sipped a hot café, and rediscovered my accent.

  2. Hasta cuando? You are right. Estuve en La Habana el año pasado con mis hermanos y la gente está realmente desesperada. Pero yo confío en que no quede mucho . Cómo estás Angelito? Yo bien. Trabajo en el I. Cervantes que promueve el español y la cultura hispanoamericana. Tengo un niño y una niña y casada con un chico de origen ugandés. Ya hablamos. Cúidate. Cristina Doce
