Night on the town.

And by the town I mean, we returned to Blue Mall. Except this time we were prepared! We actually fit in this time (as much as blonde people can here), and had quite a fun time. We went to the movies, and then to this ritzy Spanish restaurant on the fifth floor of the mall. We sat outside on the balcony and had a great view of the city at night. We reminisced about our favorite parts of the trip, and about our favorite dad memories (since it was Father's Day), and all in all had an incredible evening together.

One reoccurring theme we've been noticing is how much communication seems to fail. It happens ALL. THE. TIME. Because really, while our Spanish is no where near perfect, I feel like we are pretty good at explaining things. We are understandable, I'm positive. But somewhere between us speaking imperfectly and them speaking inaudible, something goes terribly wrong.
A few examples:
At the Spanish restaurant:  ask for a six tapas plates, receive one plate full of a lot of things that aren't tapas.
Other restaurant: ask for two yuca tacos, receive one cheese taco.   Do you see what I'm saying? How do you confuse "dos yuca" for "uno queso"? Those aren't even hard words!

We're also getting used to the "we-have-everything-on-the-menu-except-for-that" in most restaurants. Because if you ask for it, they probably will just say "No." and you say "No?" and then they say that's out but you can have this-that's-nothing-like-that instead!
So entertaining.
I've kinda forgotten what it's like to not have no idea what's going on most of the time. Everything is kinda a surprise here... there's no telling what you'll get.


Well, I'm currently watching Toy Story in Spanish, which is about as entertaining as you'd expect. Pahahah.

Hope everyone is having a good night! I'll see you all in a week :]

Love,
Abby


Oh PS, I forgot! At the mall they have a churro shop in the food court. If normal churros just don't have enough sugar for you, you can fill it with nutella, and cover it in white-chocolate and sprinkles. Phew.
