- Joe - the name we gave all the cows in the Azores. Cows were on very steep hillsides and we joked about “Joe rolling down the hill, eating Joe for dinner, etc.
- Number Me/ Roman numerals - walking the streets and having the boys transpose Roman numerals and vice versa
- Drake scared of dogs - lots of dogs in Portugal and Spain and they seemed to like D-man (of course)
- “Cheater” - what D-man called me for a lot of the trip after I killed him in cribbage
- Sala - a player for Egypt and a word we see a lot while in Spain
- 50, 100, naked - Matthew’s explanation of Spanish beaches - how far you go from the center gets you more privacy and eventually to naked people
- Beer vs. ice cream - counting Cruz Campo vs. the standard ice cream sign through our Cádiz and Tarifa (it was a tie)
- Mee-tro - the name given to the Paris subway
- Free umbrellas - we found two of them in Paris - one on the trash and one on the subway.
- Obligelato - the combination of thank you in Portuguese and Gelato
- “I’ve got no boots” - my version of “I’ve got no roots” with a British spin for the Boots pharmacies all around (both boys hate this song)
- Pastéis de Belém, Gelato, churros, ice cream bars, crepes - sweets, sweets and more sweets.
- “If you like eating yellow lemon bites” - the PG version “if you like making love at midnight.” The phrase worked well in Paris as our Airbnb had lemon yellow bites and we “caught in the rain.”
- The shield - with our last British Pounds at the airport we were able to secure a 2 pence coin to complete the shield made by the 1 penny, 2 pence, 5 pence, 10 pence and 20 and 50 pence pieces.
And a couple phrases I snapped from our London leg of the trip that sum up this amazing 3 weeks:
