Toilet Paper and Talavera

Two quick stories:

First of all, there is GREAT toilet paper here in Europe, even in the cheap hostels and the crumby bus stations. It's like really thick one-ply with alot of texture. Kewl.

Secondly, we were walking around Talavera yesterday and as we were resting on a bench, this lady came over and sat right next to my friend Mauricio. She looked homeless and she reeked of alcohol, so we didn't wanna talk to her. And when she spoke Spanish, Mauricio faked an American accent and was like "No speaka. Only English. No comprende." (I almost lost it cause we always joke around in that voice back home)

So she just sat there quietly rummaging through her plastic grocery bag. AND THEN, she pulls out a can of sardines in hot sauce!! And she has a long wooden kitchen spoon! AHAHAHAHAHH! She tried to open the can, but her fine motor skills were a bit lacking, and she ends up spraying hot sauce all over the bench, her leg, and Mauricio (who promptly but politely scooted to the opposite side of the bench and tried to sneak away). Very funny. Guess you had to be there.
