So I have so much stuff to write about! This past weekend I have traveled to Madrid and then to Burgos but I will get to that later. Now I am going to touch on a subject that has been very aggravating to Katherine and me. We have begun to notice that many different signs and locations have Spanglish on them. We understand the whole two languages on a sign because Spain has a lot of tourists but it is not that. It is the fact that they will throw in an english word in the middle of a Spanish sentance. If someone knows the whole sentence I am sure they would know the other word so I don't think they do that for the tourist's understanding. So once we started to notice this we decided to catalog the signs we see that have unnecessary english words.
First occurrence. This one bothers the heck out of us.
COME ON! haha there is a word for stop in Spanish!
Second Occurrence.
You do have a word for ticket also....BILLETE!
Third Occurrence.
Okay you have the translation below and you have a word for flash...why is it necessary to say flash. hahaFourth Occurrence.
This one is great because art in Spanish is only one more letter...arte...haha
Katherine and I just get a kick out of these signs.
