Thanks franco, I guess one needs to be brought up with a language to understand all the nuances , it is all those tiny things that count isn't it ? - ray76, Jun 15, 2013

Fun i am going to prescott for two days! - 0080b918, Jun 15, 2013

I've always wanted to see the temples at Angkor Wat ray...what an incredible time you will have. Again I'm envious. Re the language nuances, they are the most difficult part of learning I think, very difficult. I will keep franco busy forever I'm afraid. - 0095ca4c, Jun 15, 2013

Wow! Look at all the trees! Have fun, Ray! - Findy, Jun 19, 2013

Buenas noches y divertirse - 0080b918, Jun 19, 2013

We are the same mate , and unusually wet and cold today is only 14 brrrrr. - ray76, Jun 15, 2013

I am going to stay where I am in Barcelona and swim in the sea nearly every day, I will also go for a ride on bike around the city a lot.

You must be part Eskimo to swim there in the winter mate , but i envy you the ride around the City , that would be fun . - ray76, Jun 15, 2013

Tambien daré muchos paseos en bicicleta... Have a great Summer! - francobollo, Jun 15, 2013

Hey Ray, we are talking summer not winter although I did fall in off my boat a few years ago in December and it didn't feel too cold then - kenwilliams, Jun 15, 2013

Quedaremos aquí en Menorca. ¿Por qué ir a otro lugar? Hoy por ejemplo, la temperatura es alrededor de 26 centígrados. Tomamos el desayuno junto a la piscina.

---

We'll stay here in Menorca. Why go anywhere else? The temperature today is around 26 c. We had breakfast by the pool.

Here's a shot of Mahon harbour from the sea.

He aquí una foto del puerto de Mahon visto desde el mar

Que bonita! Me da envidia. - teasip, Jun 15, 2013

Nos quedaremos... - francobollo, Jun 15, 2013

Gorgeous , but how does one do it on an Aussie pension , how much would it cost to buy a small villa ?? - ray76, Jun 15, 2013

Because of the recession you can still find a small villa for around 300,000 €. This is the moment but I assume it won't last all that long. It's a buyers market just now. - lagartijaverde, Jun 15, 2013

Fun - 0080b918, Jun 15, 2013

the water looks very inviting! - chellapadua, Jun 15, 2013

Answer 7

I will be working for the next five months, but as soon as the November lull rolls around, I'm heading south again. I'm thinking of going back to either Costa Rica (the central Pacific area around Jaco) or San Ignacio, Belize where I have friends. Either way, I can't wait.

Estaré trabajando durante los próximos 5 meses, pero tan pronto como la prisa está terminar en Noviembre, voy a ir al sur otra vez. Estoy pensando de regresar a Costa Rica (la zona centro Pacífico cerca de Jaco) o a San Ignacio, Belice donde tengo amigos. De cualquier modo, no puedo esperar.

My wife, 16 year old grandson, and I will visit Texas and Denver, Colorado. We go every year to visit family. En Texas there is a canyon called Palo Duro. Maybe we will visit it again. We haven't seen it in 2 years.

Answer 9

Me voy a tomar las vacaciones en España este julio, con la familia de mi hermana, Sally. Es la hermana mayor de mis dos hermanas. Nos quedaremos en un hotel que está sólo (o que queda sólo) una hora de Alicante. No sé el nombre del hotel.

Estoy muy impaciente por llegar en España. Siempre tomo cada oportunidad para practicar mi español desde el momento que llega en este país estupendo hasta el momento cuando (o que?) tengo que irme. Mi sobrina puede hablar español, ...y espero que ella pueda dar la ayuda también a las demás en su familia.

íEspero que toda la gente española hablen con buena pronunciación (con claridad) y que no hablen demasiado rápido ...porque tengo mucho ganas de entender todo (o casi todo) lo que las personas digan! Por lo menos, sé cómo decir, - por favor, habla (o hable) más despacio jajajaja

I'm going to take my holidays in Spain this July, with my sister's family.She is the elder of my two sisters. We will be staying in a hotel 1 hour away from Alicante .I don't know the name of the hotel.

I can't wait to arrive in Spain. I always take every opportunity to practise y Spanish from the moment I arrive in this wonderful country until the moment (or time) when I have to leave! My niece can speak spanish, and I hope that she will also help the others in her family.

I hope that all the Spanish people will speak with good pronunciation (clearly) and that they will not speak too quickly...because I greatly desire to understand everything (or almost everything) they say!At least, I will know how to say, Please speak more slowly hahahahaha

sounds wonderful. have fun:) - chellapadua, Jun 19, 2013

THank you very much, Chella :) - FELIZ77, Jun 19, 2013

Answer 10

After being in Gran Canaria South for six months I'll be leaving for the land of the midnight sun in a few days. In Northern Norway, above the Arctic Circle, we have the sun over the horizon 24 hours a day for two months in June and July. There I live in my cabin in the country by the fiord where I will go fishing from a small boat.

Después de estar en Gran Canaria sur durante seis meses estará saliendo para la tierra del sol de medianoche en pocos días. En el norte de Noruega por encima del círculo polar tenemos el sol sobre el horizonte, 24 horas al día durante dos meses en junio y julio. Habito alli en mi chalet al campo cerca del fiordo, donde voy a pescar de un barco pequeño.

Buen veraneo a todos.

You remind a movie named "Sol de medianoche - White night" with Mikhail Baryshnikov and Gregory Hines - Anormal, Jun 15, 2013

Ah...another envious vacation. I have never been to Norway, but I would like to. - 0095ca4c, Jun 15, 2013

Margherite, many norwegians have never been north of the Arctic Circle. Welcome. To anormal: " you remind ME OF a movie " Cheers both. - britisk, Jun 15, 2013

oops thanks. - Anormal, Jun 16, 2013
