Rhodes, Greece
Today's word in Greek: toothbrush;
odontobourtsa (oh-thohn-DOH-voor-tsa)
Unwieldy, isn't it?
Break it in two.
Odonto (oh-thohn-DOH) looks
like part of orthodontist.
Bourtsa (VOOR-tsa) must be
related
to German Bürste (brush).
Easier now? Oh awwright, it won't be on the final.
My hopes are high that if I practice a few more days I'll be able to pronounce it correctly on the first try.
A big store, big as my neighborhood supermarket, specializes in designer brand
umbrellas. I couldn't make that up.
As you see, they make sure that you know exactly what you are
getting. I always wanted a super mini
extra large umbrella.
The rest of today's post is the usual walk across town. By now you may
recognize where most of the pictures must be from.
Happy Friday again.
In fact, in half an hour it will be Saturday.
Happy weak end!
