--> CULTURAL NOTE
That was a great aquarium! Or was it a zoo? What about the sea
lion and parrot shows? How about that nice playground for the
kids? And why was that guy selling time-share condos right in
front of the fish tanks? Well, it is an aquarium. The biggest and
most comprehensive in Mexico. But like so many attractions in
Mexico, you get more than you pay for, and sometimes more than
you want. The rest of the story, complete with audio, can be
found here:

--> PREPOSITION "SIN"
The Spanish preposition "sin" is like the English "without" as
in:

El hombre salió sin pagar la cuenta.
The man left without paying the bill.

But, sometimes "sin" is combined with an infinitive to express
the idea that something has yet to be done:

Hay muchas cuentas sin pagar.
There are a lot of unpaid bills.

Remember, double negatives are perfectly acceptable in Spanish,
and so "sin" is often followed by another negative word:

Salió sin comer nada.
She left without eating anything.


--> FALSE COGNATES
estar constipado - to have a cold
estar estreñido - to be constipated

editor - publisher
redactor - editor

fastidioso - annoying
puntilloso - fastidious

--> PROVERB
Old age comes a creeping.
Pasando el tiempo llegamos a viejos.
