Jenn has done a great job surviving the language barrier in Spain. She ventures to the local fruit stand and has figured out what the fruit vendor is asking -"medio kilo" half kilo, "bolsa?" bag?, "algo mas?" anything more? She arrives home with delicious and cheap food - like the best cherries I've ever had for $2 per kilo. My language adventure has progressed well here in Barcelona. Every once in a while I catch myself saying something in Spanish that two months ago would not have been possible, and that feels good. Interestingly, in Barcelona, Catalan and not Spanish is the first language spoken by locals. Yet, this is such an international cosmopolitan city. It is easy to meet people from other parts of Spain and beyond.
