  • Una Mesa para Dos

    “Una mesa para dos.” That’s probably what I’ve said in Spanish most frequently during our trip. To be frank, I felt defeated and frustrated with my not being able to understand when hotel staff, restaurant waiters/waitresses or taxi drivers said something. I’m disappointed with myself.

    Even when I did understand what they might have said, it’s always with a few seconds delay. By then I felt silly to respond and ended up simply letting it pass. I’m aware that I have to push myself to open my mouth, and not to be afraid of making mistakes. Let’s see how tomorrow goes..

    PS: this image was captured at a cafe recommended by our tour guide. The location was formerly a pharmacy. When this cafe was opened, they kept the sign of the pharmacy and even named the place Café La Farmacia.

  • Cortado en Jarrito

    Well, it was a “Cortado en Jarrito”. I captured this image after I finished it, which concluded our dinner tonight. It was also, as a matter of fact, the last “frame” of the images from today.

    Not sure if it was the alcohol, my companion was placing orders in Español mixed with English this evening. It’s also possible that he has noticed that I’ve been trying to practice my Español since we arrived in Buenos Aires. So this evening we were using all the Spanish vocabulary that we know. Meanwhile our waiter had a good time listening to our broken Español. We all had a good laugh and wonderful time..
