Amazing photo, Stephen!
Oh, and I am a big fan of inventing the word you want too. Nice job with "enfungusated".... I think I've used the term "fungified" in the past. *grin*

Native speakers
You can play with words like this in English. I only dare to do it in Spanish. :-)

Thanks for commenting, Harsi and Beatriz!

Muy enfungusado? Enfungadisimo?

Melting pot
Argentina is as much of a melting pot as this country. I kept my maiden name. My ancestors were French, Spanish and Italian.

I forget the rest of the mixture.

5+ years of EspaƱol back when I was in school and I still can't carry on a decent conversation.
