 LAST WEEKEND 

Last weekend, for the festivity of Saint Pilar, I went to Montiró. Montiró is a small village close to "l'Escala". I stayed three days in Montiró with my mother and my sister. We went to my mother friend's house, a very big house! These days the weather was bad, but I had lots of fun! 

In Montiró I played basketball, rode a scooter and a bicicle. With my mother's friends, we went to l'Escala to see the sea and the waves breaking. A big wave got us wet. We also went to see an abandoned shanty tawn. In our way we found a lot of big and white mushrooms.

UNIT 1: List of Irregular Verbs

Did you know...?

The word sandwich that we use today was born in London during the very late hours one night in 1762. It was named after John Montagu, the Fourth Earl^[1] of Sandwich, an 18th century English aristocrat (1718-1792). As the story goes, in 1762, during a 24 hour gambling streak he instructed a cook to prepare his food in such a way that it would not interfere with his game. The cook presented him with sliced meat between two pieces of toast. Perfect! This meal required no utensils such fork or knife and could be eaten with one hand, leaving the other free to continue the game. The nobleman was able to continue his gambling while eating his snack and because Montagu also happened to be the Fourth Earl of Sandwich, others began to order "the same as Sandwich!". It is said that Lord Sandwich was fond of this form of food because it allowed him to continue playing cards, particularly cribbage, while eating without getting his cards greasy from eating meat with his bare hands.


From that incident, we have inherited that quick-food product that we now know as the sandwich. Sadly, the name of real inventor of the sandwich (be it inventive cook or the creative consumer) was not recorded for posterity. Besides the more obvious meaning of sandwich, "something edible between two or more slices of bread", metaphorically speaking, it also means "to squeeze in between two other people, places, things, materials, etc." For example: Her car was sandwiched between two other cars in the parking lot. 


Earl^[1]= it's a title of nobility from Great Britain that means "count", like Count Dracula.
