Stuart's first 2 euros

Cliff is teaching me how to blog.  He continues to push me up the on-ramp on the information highway.  It is a heavy lift, but he thinks he can make it.  I was the one who suggested that we live in Spain.  I could live in England only if I had an astronaut's space suit.  That country has a wonderful cultural history, but  some of the most foul weather in the world.  Of course, they do save money on having daily television weather reports.  They just play a loop that says; "Today will be rainy, cold and windy."  Fortunately, Cliff was amenable to leaving the UK and living in Spain.  There are reputedly one million British ex-pats living in Spain.  For most of them, their Spanish vocabulary consists of "dos cervezas (beers) por favor!"

Our lives together will be a series of new adventures.  Cliff has enumerated many of those events.  I hope to add my perspective.  I have one advantage in that 26 years ago, I lived and worked in Mexico City for 6 months.  Puedo hablar español más o menos, especialmente menos.  I can speak Spanish more or less, especially less! So I speak and understand just enough Spanish to get into trouble.


We hope you will enjoy going on our journey with us.


All the best,


Stuart
