Don't worry, I have about 3 months til I get to Playa, I'll probably provide you with lots of ammo between now and then.

My 7th grade grammar teacher would lash me with a bamboo cane when I ended sentences in a preposition. But, he was a Latin teacher, too, so who knows?

Sometimes I do it just to be naughty.

What did you bring that book that I don't want to be read to from out of about Mexico phrases
up for?

Char,

"Excuse me, where is the library at?"
"Here at Hahvahd, we never end a sentence with a preposition."
"O.K. Excuse me, where is the library at, asshole?"

Okay, just for my understanding Char, did you mean this, "which was it (for Babs)" OR this, "which was it for, Babs?"
(and I cringe every time I see that word "Babs" and get images of a drag queen Barbra Streisand - ick! Can't we just call him B'loo?)

Don't be mad, you know we love you. But dude, if you dish it out, you've gotta take it.

Seriously though, whenever I'm in Mexico, I always carry The Rough Guide - Mexican Spanish Dictionary Phrasebook (ISBN 1-85828-609-3). They carry them at Barnes & Nobles and are usually found in the reference section or travel/Mexico section. I like that its specific to Mexico... and small enough to carry with you.

so that's what's in the belt pack next to the spare camera batteries, handheld GPS, and little black book ???

No, that's bAloo... totally different creature, mostly.



And even if that bear was "b'loo," wouldn't that be better than a drag queen Barbra?
