Random Day

Workers day today. People were striking in the streets, I would think today of all days you'd want to not strike... just saying. We had the day off, well sorta. Long story, you wouldn't like to hear it. Ran it to this random guy we meet last month, Kelsey said he was totally into me. Apparently he asked us out dancing but said that he had a friend for her. Then some guy tried talking to us in English, while following down the street. So I thought it'd be super funny to start talking in French. So then he starts talking to us in French, we don't respond but I was laughing my head off! Who the heck is this guy!!! So much for trying to be clever. So the class I was supposed to teach (even though I was scheduled off today... ?) got cancelled so we went to a little cafe to get some coffee. And EVERYONE kept staring at me! Then the really drunk old lady who was chugging half a gallon of yogurt with her bread was really into the stories I was telling. She kept laughing and making motions to me when I would tell an interesting part. I'm also positive she knew no English what-so-ever! She also started waving at me at one point, for no reason. Then this guys walks in to the cafe with a dried cow head, you know the kind you'd mount on a wall? He sets it down and ordered some bread... I was telling a really creepy story but couldn't help busting out laughing. Then we arrived early to pick up the teenagers for the sleepover we are having right now. Don't ever, ever arrive early in South America. Especially when you are wearing sandals and a skirt and it is raining. 1 hour. I still can't feel my feet. The "wedding singer" just got done shouting his songs so now hopefully I'll be able to sleep.
