DH and I have decided we'd better start learning Spanish. We're
only 52 and 51, respectively, but we figure that we'd better
learn it if we want to be able to communicate with the people who

My husband once said there are three phrases to know when vacationing in
Mexico.

Mas cerveza, por favor. (More beer, please)
Donde esta el bano? (Where is the bathroom?)
Mi amigo tiene el dinero (My friend has money)

I told this to some Spanish-speaking folks at a store last year, and
they all laughed at that last one <g>
