So I went out with a girl last night, who probably spoke less english than I do spanish.  It was quite the evening.   Fun, actually.  We spoke for several hours, and most of the time we got by quite nicely, and only a few times were we downright confused.  It was a lovely way to get my mind off of things. We met in the Jardin, and walked to St. Augustin for churros and coffee.  She had a cafe espanol and I had a cappucino.  It really was the first time I had to speak with someone for an extended period of time that did not speak english fluently.  I was pleasantly surprised with my spanish, and my handle on the preterito indefindo and preterito imperfecto.  After, we came back to my home and sat in the garden and talked for another few hours, after which I got her a cab home.  As for my plans tonight, I am off to see a jazz band play at the bar Limerick.
