"mona" : okay, this roughly translates to "white girl" it can be used for flirting as well but that is only part of why it's what i'm called it every time i walk down the streets of Medellin. Living here i have found people with all different colours and tones of skin, but nobody with skin quite as white as mine. Another thing is nobody has blue eyes, so in comparison mine are as electric blue as the colours of my new school (Jorge Robledo -IJR-)
. So on days like today when my friend and i walk around exploring the city of 1000 springs surronded by moutains, old men ramble at me in spanish i am just begining to get an ear for and the one word i always reconize is "mona". Even the people at the grocery store check-out;....spanish.....spanish...."mona"!!......spanish... hahaha :)

Hi Rube - good for you - running your own blog! Love it!
ReplyDeleteInteresting experience to be the outsider, huh? The one who stands out for the way you look....being redhead, freckled, blue eyed and WHITE skinned like yourself - I GET it :) Felt my "difference" all over Mexico.....
Keep exploring and thanks for sharing your adventure with us!
Be safe
