There have been questions regarding the pronunciation of "Jorge". Jorge is my husband's adopted Spanish name - seeing as we are going to a Spanish-speaking country. We somehow assumed that people know how to pronounce Spanish. Our bad. So a quick clarification. In Spanish, the "j" is pronounced like a heavily aspirated "h" in English, while the "g" is pronounced the same way as the Spanish "j" (when followed by the letter "e" or "i"), and remember to roll the "r". In essence, you say, "Hor-Hay" (thanks Jasonator). And no, this isn't only a blog name. I really do call my husband Jorge at times... and scarily enough, he responds to it
