It´s all ¨Buenas¨

Although I am sure the typical Spanish greetings of Buenas Dias in the morning, Buenas Tardes in the afternoon and Buenos Noches in the evening has been written about a million times, it´s timeless charm and noticeable affect on my perspecitve is definitely worth another plug here.
How pleasant it is to be greeted by anyone you meet, at any hour of the day with eye contact, a smile and salutation. The young and old alike pay the same respects to one another. Can you imagine everytime you say a friend, family member or even a stranger you were met with a warm ¨howdoyado?¨ I am afraid much of the culture I live in has fallen out of favor with such things. We could all learn a bit by just remembering the simple things like..... greeting your fellow neighbor.
