Tonight, Mom and I told my sister and brother-in-law we plan to move to Northern Spain. Permanently. After a long conversation, they understand why. Finances, politics, climate are all factors. This move is a huge change. We’ve lived in this area since 1977. Selling 99% of all we own is daunting. But Dad dying was a huge change too, and we overcame it. We’ve faced monumental challenges in the past. This one is going to be an adventure. We’re excited to start a new chapter.
@InUnfunky I read easily. My listening comprehension is good. I’m working on my conversation and spelling. I speak French and Italian already fairly fluently, so Spanish isn’t hard for me.
My mom spent a summer in Spain when she was young and was a translator/interpreter for my father’s charity eye care work in Central America. Her Spanish is far better than mine. In fact she has used it during our travels throughout Europe, and even helped her communicate in Romania as well. 😊
