OH! DeZavala! When we first moved here I had called on an ad for a house for rent in the Shavano Park area. When the guy was giving me directions, I thought he said to turn on "Days of Alla"!!!! Still laugh about that when I remember it!

OMgosh!!!!! I am laughing so hard at "Days of Alla".....that is priceless. Actually....that's a good way to remember it!
When I moved back here, La Cantera was a new area for me. I had not seen it written, so I thought they were saying "Loch and Terra"....or something to do with the Lochness monster!....earth and water?? I don't know.....I think I like my verson better!  |

How do you pronounce...
The Aransas (not sure if I spelled it correctly) for Port Aransas? (I know it isn't in SA, but it isn't that far right-- a couple of hours)?
Can't figure out how to say it...

Sapphire...good one! I struggled with this one for years. A friend finally MADE me say it right! LOL....I've heard it a couple of ways....your pronounciation is one of them. A slight variation is:
REF yur ee oh (emphasis on the first syllable)
(I'm not sure what locals in Refugio say! Anyone from there??   |

One that stumped me is Tow. You would think it's tow, like tow your car. It's actually Tow, like cow or now. ???

I know this is an old thread but I couldn't help it.
Palestine is not Pa-la-stine thats in the Middle East. Instead it's pronounced Pa-la-steen.

Guys, how do the locals in the hill country pronounce LLANO? I think I hear the majority say it as L-A-NO rather than the Spanish version of Y-A-NO because LLANO was not named with Mex/Spanish references in mind. Correct?
