I realized today that I haven't introduced you to my habatacion. I was taught in the States that cuarto was the correct word for room or bedroom but to my finding there are differences between European and Mexican style as well as Argentinean ect. In Valencia they speak four languages which took a bit to figure out. One of them is a combination of Spanish and French (who would have thought). I do tend to think that classes in the States should focus on all area's of Spanish and not limit it to the closet Spanish speaking country. I didn't learn Vosotros (the you all form of a verb) until Junior year of college when I had a Spaniard professor from a small town inside Catalonia (which also speaks Catalan). I'm sure you're thanking me for the history lesson. I've included a few pictures, some from our hotel room in Madrid and our new habatacion in Valencia. I also threw in a picture of the police vehicles around here. Maybe cops will go soft in America and criminals will get taken away in a Prius...
