We've been enjoying a relaxing week at Marriott's Marbella Beach Resort. The compound of villas is huge and we were lucky to get a villa so close the Mediterranean. As for the inside, we're feeling really spoiled again! The bed alone is nearly the size of the entire apartment we had in Florence. I may be exaggerating a tad but I swear a few nights ago I had to roll over like 4 times before I found Valentina tucked deep under the down comforter on the other side of the bed.
My Spanish classes have been GREAT. I was easily functional here in broken Spanish before the lessons but now I feel a lot more confident because I'm learning to actually use the language properly. And now, the moment you've all been waiting for. I will translate this blog for those who speak only Spanish: HOLA-ESTAMOS BIEN. ESTAMOS EN MARBELLA. LA CAMA ES TREMENDO. PERDIO VALENTINA EN LA CAMA. MIS CLASES SON BIEN.
Pretty good huh? (BIEN JUJ?)

As a daily fan of your blog, I've always thought that keeping it up to date was very hard work.After that cruise with you guys, I realized that hard is not even close to be right word.Finding the right park, the right spot, the one and only internet cafe in town or the corner where the neighbors's signal works the best...it's much more than just hard work.Only your great desire to share your adventure with the rest of us makes it possible. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Y... ahora con las clases de espanol de Ian, ....vamos a disfrutar ademas la traduccion a este idioma.
Los adoro.
mami
Mrs. Bruk, you write very well in English! It was great when you guys were here living it us. :)
That is correct Val and Ian. Jebel Tariq literally translates to Tariq's Mountain. Tariq being an Arabic name. Who is he? He was the general who led the Moors into the Iberian peninsula...the rock is/was also known as hercules' pillar or something like that.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS! (Christmas, Adha, Hanukha, and Kwanza)
I'm so jealous you guys got to hang in Dubrovnik...I can't wait to hear about that one.
I feel so useless with everyone else contributing so much to your multi-lingual quest. Should you need anyone to translate from Hillbilly to Deep Southern while on your trip ("over yonder" that is), drop me a line.
