| I think the name of this town rhymes with "saliva." Apparently they have great prices there - I'm not sure if Salida has anything else going for it. |

| Rebecca commented on 08.23.03 | | Here in California we speak Mexican Spanish, I thik it is a little different. There may be a town named "Exit" somewhere in this country - maybe I will see if I can find one. |

| Frank commented on 08.23.03 | | That makes me thinking about a coachload of French tourists I once met on a highwayparking in Italy. "Tiens, they said, (in French) we go to Uscita, I don't find that city on the map, can you show me please?" (Uscita is Italian for Salida or Way Out). Is there a city called way out in the States? |

| Frank commented on 08.23.03 | | Catalan never has been imperial, and "salida" in imperialistic spanish is "sortida" in Catalan… |

| wim commented on 08.23.03 | | I tought Salida was exit in Catalan, I doubt if Catalan is the imperial Spanish, anyway the mat does not make my saliva drabble. |

| Rebecca commented on 08.22.03 | | I suspect it may mean something more like "quiero a salir" (in my rusty Spanish). |

| Frank commented on 08.22.03 | | “Salida” means way out in imperial Spanish. How do you get into a city that is only an exit? Cliff Richard sang, years ago: "And the only way in is the only way out and it's you" But I don't like this solution. |

| Rebecca commented on 08.22.03 | | Christel, I think the connection between the two towns consists of about 150 miles of hot, dry, barren territory. |

|
| Christel commented on 08.22.03 | | does it have a connection with Steinbeck's Salinas ? |
