These are some new word uses, colloquial word, and other random stuff that I've learned this week.

pimiento del piquillo- a pepper from navarra

zapatilla- huge toasted ham sandwich http://www.bootsnall.com/articles/10-09/eat-your-way-around-madrid.html

Sandy- a lemon beer without alcohol

Halloween- It was a Celtic tradition that was introduced to America and transformed into the modern day Halloween.

lienzo- canvas

puente- it means <> but they use when they have a long break like the long Halloween break. One of my students said that he was going to sleep during the bridge...

Don't put all your eggs in one basket- No pongas todos los huevos en una cesta

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones- No tires piedras a tu propio tejado.

Well, this does not include the stuff that I have written down.

Pura Vida!
