Lunch with Spanish Speakers

 

Today I had lunch with two of my workmates: Yolanda (from Barcelona) and Jorge (from Perú). Yolanda's husband and Jorge's family were as well.

 

Yolanda cooked a delicious "tortilla de patatas"; Jorge cooked "tortitas mejicanas"; Paul (Yolanda's husband) cooked the dessert: tiramisú (really good!); and according to my "cooking expertise", I decided to buy wine (Rioja).

 

Jorge has got 2 children with 5 and 2 years old. At the beginning none of them spoke any one word. Later, they started to make me some signs... and finally they were "my friends".

 

I have already commented that I like children "just for a while"... but the reality is that children like me and when they come and ask me to play with them, of course, I cannot say "no". So I start playing with them and afterwards, I am all day with them (I´m exhausted now!!).

 

I invented a game with some cards that we had. We had same cards in two colours: red and blue (the game had more pieces... but we decided to do the "easy game"). It consisted in finding the same card in the other colour. I cannot tell you how many times we have played to it. But it was funny because children had fun (and me too).

 

It´s been a good Saturday!
