Abuelas Press Conference

Went to the Abuelas press conference.  Alas, no matter how much I think I'm getting the hang of Spanish, as soon as I get away from one on one face-to-face conversation, I seem to lose my ability to comprehend.  Just too fast, too much vocabulary.  I know people slow down for me, and use simpler language, but it's humbling to realize that I still can't watch TV or listen to a speech (except, of course, when Chabad teaches, since they use simple language and repeat things, over and over and over).

Then went to the Jewish neighborhood, lots of Black Hats, but also a Judaica store.  Although Pablo isn't Jewish, he mentioned that he had several Jewish friends.  As I have no friends here, except for Pablo, I suggested that perhaps he should have a party.  Pablo's house and the party deserve a separate post.
