There are lots of street markets in Paris. So far, we've discovered two within walking distance of our apartment. On Sunday marnings, there is an organic market on Boulevard Raspail -- this is where we went this morning for some fresh fruit. In French, they refer to "organic" as "biologique" ... or "bio" for short. And in a linguistic coincidence worthy of Douglas Adams, that's pronounced like we would say "B.O."

Rick Steves! A demigod of his genre (providing a useful guides to conversational language for tourists and businesspeople).
His "Spanish and Portuguese Phrase Book and Dictionary" helped me through trips to Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and Chile.

Yo soy un hombre sincero
De donde crecen las palmas
Yo soy un hombre sincero
De donde crecen las palmas
Y antes de morirme quiero
Echar mis versos del alma

Sorry, my Spanish and Portuguese are limited to the pleasantries (hello, thank you, please, excuse me, etc.), food (dois ovos, por favor) and the location of the washroom facilities (onde e que e a casa de banho?)
