Rotary Presentation in Granada

I gave my official presentation to Rotary of Granada on Tuesday, March 16. The meeting was at the house of Louisa Amanda and Arturo, with Evenor, Evita, Giovanni, Ruth, Carlos, Sergio, and Juan Carlos in attendance. I think I accidentally made one of my feminine words masculine, but hey-since when do words have gender? LOL. I hear that Giovanni told Karla that my presentation was "super bien", and Carlos leaned over to Sergio and told him that I speak well when I used the word, "fuegos artificiales"; which means, literally-artificial fires, but it is the word for fireworks here. Yep, Sergio just taught me that word the morning of my presentation, and I practiced it all day to try to remember. I'm glad that he was impressed when I used my new word while displaying a beautiful picture of the Tryon Palace with fireworks at Christmas time. I shared with the Rotarians some things that New Bern is noted for: being the first capital of NC, birthplace of Pepsi Cola, the New Bern Bear mascot, the history of the founder from Switzerland, and the beautiful Union Point Park, and our two rivers: the Neuse and the Trent. I also showed them a beautiful family photo and pictures of my work in NC with speakers of Spanish, which began in 2003 at Pitt County Memorial Hospital.
