<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hola All;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>My language is English. I have self studied Spanish
off and on for several years, mostly off. My proficiency is quite limited
but........ While in the Manjarin Albergue last year, I was
called on to help translate Spanish. Wow, what a privilege! It was
one of many highlights that day. Never in my wildest dreams would I
imagine that I would be asked to translate Spanish. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Having read the latest notes regarding translating a
language and what a burden it is to the translator, I think back to the times
that I was the recipient of the efforts of my Spanish friend in Los Arcos and
San Sebastian. My apologies to you, Ignacio. </FONT></DIV>
