W is for “What? No Spanish Words Start With W?”

What? Does this mean you can skip W and dash to X? (Photo taken last week during a dress-rehearsal parade!)

Aside from adopting words from other languages, Spanish doesn’t have words that begin with the letter W!  Wifi, Whisky, Wafle (Waffle) illustrate a few of the escapes that took root in the Spanish language.

Here’s a beautiful song by Richard Shindell that my friend Michelle shared with me years ago.  It doesn’t start with W, but it compliments the theme of learning Spanish.

An impromptu parade distracted us from painting last week;  in preparation for Jama’s (Canton)15-year celebration, the town treated us to a dress rehearsal for a much larger parade set for later this week!  Since I have no Spanish words to illustrate the letter W, here’s a sneak peek of the upcoming parade!
