Misadventures in My Own Island of Gringa-ness

Ice cream date

GUATEMALA | Friday, 14 June 2013 | Views [320]

Last day in Guatemala.  Sorry to leave, but excited to see what new messes I can get myself into in Chile.  Plenty I'm sure. 

As a celebration type thing, I bought ice cream for our Spanish tutors.  I went into the ice cream shop with Martha, and I was looking at the ice cream bars.  I was looking for one with almonds in it, and thought I knew the word for almonds.  I asked if they had one with almonds in it, and the woman gave me a really strange look.  I realized that when trying to fudge the word, I had mispronounced it as Germans.  What I ended up asking was, "Do you have any ice cream with Germans in it?"
