We have been using our spanish quite a bit ... although mine is mostly restricted to buying "Agua sin gas" - water without bubbles. At least Leanne is having no trouble being understood - but she is still finding it difficult to understand what people are saying (they talk too fast). We are a bit surprised at how many people do not speak english here.
