I may be back in blogging action...haven't decided yet. Here are some pics from a recent vacation to the Costa Rica, with lame attempts at wit underneath. Do with them what you will.
I leave you with one anecdote from the trip. We got picked up at the airport by a shuttle driver. I tried speaking to him in Spanish and Chinese inevitably tumbled out. Funny, I know. I explained to him as best I could that I learned Spanish in highschool, but then got it all mixed up with Chinese. He politely then asked: "Usted habla Chino Mandarin o Chino Japonese?" Liam and I couldn't help but bust up laughing, and I politely answered that I did not, in fact, speak Japanese Chinese, but I spoke Mandarin.
The pics are in reverse order. I can't be bothered to correct them.
Seems that you had a great time traveling. I am subsequently getting the itch to travel as well. Unfortunately, it won't be nearly as exotic. I'm glad that you're blogging again.
ReplyDeleteI like your pics! Jake does the same thing. He tries to speak Russian and Spanish will come out.
ReplyDeleteAs opposed to Betsy, I don't want to travel right now.....I have the itch to stay home.

ReplyDeleteYou probably won't read this, but I have some very similar stories regarding "Chinos" in my Central American experiences as well. I'll tell you some day.
