I am so excited! I had my first real conversation in Spanish. And it was totally spontaneous!
I was walking across the street from our apartment complex, when I spied an elderly man with a cane walking on the path to the park. At first glance, he looked like the mariachi trumpet player that I often run into at the bus stop. But when I got closer, I realized it was not him.
I nodded and smiled when he glanced my way.
"Hello", he said in a thick Spanish accent.
I ran with it!

"¡Hola! ¿Como estas?" I said excitedly.
"¡Hola! Estoy bien" he said, with a big grin. "¿Y tu?"
"¡Muy bien!" says I. I smiled back and waved. "¡Adios!"
"¡Adios!" said my new friend, waving.
I practically skipped to the bus stop. I had a real conversation with a kind stranger! In Spanish,
no less!
On that note, I am going to skip off to teach piano.
¡Feliz jueves! (Happy Thursday)
