Cafe Espanol...

...is awesome.  At least 20 people showed up, and I think maybe up to 25 or 30.  We had guacamole, quesadillas, pico de gallo (and discussed how strange it is that fresh salsa is called "beak of the rooster"), gallo pinto (black beans and rice tico-style, "painted rooster" for its speckled appearance, and - sorry, it's breakfast time, but I suppose y'all aren't as interested in the food aspect as I am.

Margaret and Glenn did an awesome job of leading the group through conversation (translating as they spoke so that those in the crowd with very little Spanish experience could follow), games, and introductions.  There were people with no Spanish background and people who had lived in Spanish speaking countries for years.  And, most exciting, there were people from age 12 to age 80.  It was a beautiful thing.

So come to next week's Cafe Espanol at 5:30 in the Back Room!
