Not a pet shop

Many shops in Spain end their names in the suffix -eria... panaderia (bread), cervezeria (beer, a bar), lavaderia (laundry), etc. Fine. I was even amused at the hybrid "croissanteria" sign that I saw in Granada last week. Until I saw "ferreteria"...which turns out to sell hardware and kitchen goods, metal stuff (ferrous materials, not small wiry mammals ;-).

Off to shower and to work...

I wish that I'd taken an intensive Spanish-training course before this trip...
