Spanish Word(s) of the Day: Balaso and Bomba

Today’s words are balaso and bomba.

balaso (buh – lah – so)

Balaso literally means bullet but can also mean shot.

bomba (boam – buh)

bomba literally means bomb but can also mean firework.

The past few nights, Lauren and Jeff have been hearing bombas. At first they thought it sounded like balasos because it was so loud. It was pretty scary at first, however, since it is the festival of St. Simon (aka Maximon), the sounds are actually just celebratory bombas.
