Back home from a long weekend out of town to visit a friend in San Diego. He was kind enough to take us to Mexico for lunch and dinner yesterday. It was my first time and I was so excited to practice my Spanish. I have to admit I was a little disappointed that most people spoke English very well. But I was able to tell our friend how to search for a bakery or panadería and it was fun to read the menus and all the signage in the towns. And the food was outstanding! I didn't get to try the al Pastor version, but these tacos were darn tasty.

I don't even really like octopus, but I had it twice yesterday and both times were delicious. I guess it's like anything, if it's prepared right.
Now we're back home and I'm catching up on my homework. Today we were back to Lyrics Training. This time I picked a song and I listened to it on karaoke mode several times, paying close attention to the pronunciation, the cadence and intonation. It's very different singing versus speaking. Many of the words blend together to fit the melody. The song I picked I heard for the first time in English in the Australian movie Strictly Ballroom.
