Communication difficulties in Granada.

During our free time in the city center of Granada, my friends Kabir, Sophie, Mauricio, Bianca and I went to get some gelato for a little snack. The gelato was one of the best I had during the entire trip...and I had a lot of gelato..so that's saying something. Although it was good, getting it was not easy. Usually some of the people at the gelato shops speak a little English, but at this one there were absolutely no English speakers. I remember trying to ask the lady if I could have a chocolate gelato and she said something to me that I could not understand at all. So soon enough we both ended up trying to act out what we were trying to say, which was probably pretty entertaining to watch, I'm sure. Turns out she just wanted to know if I wanted 2 different flavors or just all chocolate. Although this experience was amusing and awkward, I learned from it. Even though I don't speak the same language as everyone in the world, there is always alternative ways of communication.

En Espanol: En Espana, muchos gentes hablan ingles, pero la mujer en el heladeria no habla ingles. Era muy dificil para mi hablar con la mujer. Nosotros empezamos usando nuestros manos a comunicar. Yo aprendi que hay siempre muchos formas a comunicar.
