Gostei muito desse post e seu blog é muito interessante, vou passar por aqui sempre =) Depois dá uma passada lá no meu site, que é sobre o CresceNet, espero que goste. O endereço dele é http://www.provedorcrescenet.com . Um abraço.
When I was in my late 30's,
I worked for Blue Giant on Heart Lake Rd. in Bramalea, ON.
The owner hired many S. Americans, and since I often went into the plant to pull information to do the cost accounting, I decided to learn to read and speak Spanish.
(At that time, I was the only woman who was or ever had been allowed into that plant itself. Up to then women had a tougher time getting jobs like that.)
Even the janitor was S.American. He was a gentle man who had previously worked in the plant, which made lift trucks, but one day he tried to stop with his hands a pile of steel plates from falling, and was badly injured.
I never needed Spanish again once I left there, in 1974, so don't know what these sentences mean.
I'm sure it is a welcome, inspiring message though.
Gracias.
It has long been my intention to go to Cuba in my retirement for an extended period of time, hopefully teaching English in trade for learning Spanish, so I may well discover the meaning of these words yet, and to cycle around the island where-ever I am allowed to.
There is a significant tiny island off-shore from the n.e. side of Cuba which holds particular interest for a nature photographer, like myself.
Perhaps I would get to seen, and hold!!!, the Glass Butterflies, such as these whose pic I took from an internet forward from a dear friend.
