Just like the traffic jam in the photo, things can be so familiar and so different. I have been looking in one of our Portuguese books and smiled coming across these words.
- A shopping is not a type of trip but it is the actual mall itself.
- Futebol is not American football but it is soccer.
- Coco is not chocolate but rather it is coconut.
- X-salada is a cheeseburger with the salad works. There is a true word for cheese, queijo, but in this case, the X is pronounced sheeze which sounds like the English word cheese. So your order becomes a Sheeze salada. Nice sense of humor!
- time is not referring to the clock but rather means team.
- Notebook (pronounced notch-book-ee) is not a bound pad of paper but rather a laptop.
We have much to learn....
Next week we will begin traveling again to Wyoming and then to Colorado. Thanks for praying.
