As we were finishing up at the restaurant in Palermo several of the staff approached us as were were standing next to the table and asked Andrea something incomprehensible to us (in Spanish of couse). Were we short on the tab? Were they trying to sell us more food? Were we in the way? What did they want!
Andrew responded with 'despasio' (slower) to try and get them to speak slower... no dice. I walk up and a gentleman turns to me and starts speaking Spanish faster than Humberto, so of course I could not understand and responded with 'No se' (I don't know). Andrea throws up her hands to the sky and in a near yell says 'Nosotros vamos!' (We are going!) and suddenly the guys smile and happily begin cleaning off the table. Apparently they just wanted the table to seat another group.
Word/Phrases of the day (Disclaimer: I do not claim that these are grammatically correct, but at least they were understood):
- despacio
- Donde esta el bano?
- nosotros vamos
- no entiendo (This is what I should have said)
