because the language skills sure have.
I had my first travel screw-up today, which, after 4 months on the road, is not too bad. I thought, for sure, that I was on the 15:00 bus to BA today. I had one part correct, 15:00 but they day on the ticket was for tomorrow.
They say, when life throws you lemons, make lemonade. I was trying to figure out how i could bitch out the ticket lady, knowing a) I can´t really speak Spanish and b) I need her to re-issue a ticket for today, because I am sure I asked for a ticket for today. However, I think some have questioned my ability to remember things. In this case, I am quite certain I asked for a ticket for today. I was more confident after i got her to change the ticket to the bus at 20:00 and then she said, in spanish, ¨Okay, here is a new ticket. it is for 20:00, manana.¨ Meanwhile I am thinking ¨which word in ´hoy´ don´t you understand?¨ So the blame is on her.
Now the rain has stopped here and maybe i should have stayed for the night, but I do not want to have to go to that booth again.
In the next 4 hours, i will see what this town has to offer.
