Feliz Cumpleaos!

My Spanish class ended yesterday with a set of skits all about where should we go on vacation. My group portrayed a family: let’s go to Hawaii! No, I want to go to Alaska. No, Alaska is cold and boring, I want to go to Disneyland. Then Mom said, no, that’s no fun for the adults, instead let’s go to Iguazu Falls, it will be very educational. After crunching out his finances on his calculator Dad concluded: why I know someplace that’s much cheaper and just as fun, and we can drive to in our car. Let’s go to San Jose! We can stay at the grandparents, we’ll go to interesting places like the Center for Beethoven Studies, we’ll eat at fine restaurants like Appleby’s and Olive Garden, and we’ll go shopping at Border’s and Pottery Barn. Vamos a divertirnos!

All of which reminds me: tomorrow is Beethoven’s birthday. He is turning 234 so wish him a good one!
