Languages - Day 5


I read in the car today on the way down to Chicago to a Jaguar driving event (quite fun). I think I’m getting a bit better at reading in Spanish, but I should probably start the Duolingo soon so I actually try to write or speak some of it (I think that’s part of Duolingo . . . I don’t really know). One of the fairy tale stories I read today was really sad. It was a Mexican version of Sleeping Beauty, but the princess and her beloved were exiled because she was native and he was a Spaniard and they were confined in a cave and couldn’t escape and they died. Their bones were found years later locked in an embrace . . . how sad is that? Hopefully the rest of the stories are a little more light-hearted.
