After chasing these signs, I'm thinking about changing the name of this blog to the "Blogería" but I have to come up with a new sign first ... what do you think?
 |
| Office Supplies |
 |
| Jewelry |
 |
| Ice Cream |
 |
| I never did figure this one out ... they "rent" bread? (Maureen thinks this might mean whole grain.) |
 |
| Not sure what the difference between a Farmacia and a Droguería is. Maureen thinks it might focus on makeup and skin care. Seems to make sense with Dermatologica behind it. |
 |
| Seafood Restaurant |
 |
| Furniture |
 |
| Peluquería is hairdresser. El gallito is cock. You figure it out. |
 |
| Perfume |
 |
| Millinery |
 |
| One of my favorites ... this is a tailor shop ... deep in the background is a tiny, old Singer. |
 |
| Chop restaurant I presume. |
 |
| Dairy |
 |
| Chickens again ... poultry shop. |
 |
| Butcher. |
 |
| Ham + gear? I'm going to have to go into this place and see what it is. |
 |
| Herbs ... there were big, open bags of dried plants in this store ... very few I recognized but it looked like it would be fun for someone who knew what they were looking at. |
Joyce, that "something about chickens": peluqueria is hairdresser. El Gallito peluqueria = "The Cock Hair Salon" (possibly).
ReplyDeleteRenteria can refer to productive land; I'm wondering is pan renteria might mean whole grain bread.
Polleria is poultry shop.
That particular drogueria is probably limited to skin care and makeup products.
The one that leaves me a bit mystified is the Jamoneria el engane. I'm wondering if it's an idiom of some kind.
Thanks for playing, Maureen ... and for all the information and suggestions!
ReplyDeleteno wonder I get some of my French and Spanish mixed up, some of the words are similar. Thought I had a French/ English Dict. near by,, but can't find it.. Thank you for sharing your adventures.. having fun! with you!
ReplyDeleteSince they're both Romance languages, there is a lot of overlap... French next! ;-)
Deletejamoneria el engane....with the gear on the sign, maybe it means ground ham....just a wild guess, though. Wanted to join in the game!
ReplyDeleteJudy ... good guess. I'll stop in there on my way home a bit later and let you know. I'm glad you're playing with us.
DeleteJudy ... I think you're right ... I couldn't find the exact sign but another "Jamon" shop is on my route and when I popped in, I could see that they were selling sausage!
