My host family has two young yellow labs which make me happy. When I first arrived I heard their names as Jugo, which means "juice" and Asucar which means "sugar." I proudly told my Spanish teacher about los dos perros a mi casa called Juice and Sugar. I told my cultural tour guide, an Ecuadorian university student about Juice and Sugar. I´ve played with the dogs for a week calling them Juice and Sugar.... Turns out it´s Ugo ( a very masculine man´s name) and Suca (slang equivalent to Blondie or Goldie).... boy was I embarrassed. My Spanish teacher and I had a good laugh over this and now neither one of us can keep a straight face anytime juice or sugar comes up in conversation.

Bummer, dude, about the digicam! So early in the trip, too! What's the plan on that front?
(As an aside, I my cellphone bounced out of it's pouch in my shoulder bag as I rode my bicycle home from work last Thursday... I was surprisingly sad, despite the "freedom" that I knew I'd gained!)
Bummer about the camera, but the story is LOL funny!
Keep these coming.

When I was little I called the show Starsky and Hutch, "Starchy and Fudge". I guess I'm making a comparison to developing language skills. Wait until you start thinking you understand song lyrics. :D
Dayna, voy a aprender mucho por sus blogs. No hay nada como vivir una lengua, y un dia voy a hacerlo como tu.
¿Vas a poder votar en este elección o no? Sé que puede ser difícil, dependiendo de las leyes de votación de su estado de origen. Pero quizás que es una de las ventajas de la vida lejos del EEUU.
Pensando en ti, con un abrazo grande,
