Chica americana

Ok, so even if you go out and buy the most euro outfit that you can find the people here can pick you out like a sore thumb for being american. Sometimes when I talk to people in Spainsh they will respond to me in English. All I want is for them to humor me a little. Today I accidently bumped into a guy and said "lo siento" (I'm sorry) and he replied, "Don't even worry about it." Come on! The best story is today I was shopping in a thrift store in order to find a cheap heavy sweater when the store owner approached me. Without me saying a word he asks me in english, "Have you heard of the Donaldson line." Having know idea what that was I replied to him in spanish "No, I haven't." He took me to the back of the store to show me the Donaldson line which consists of all Disney theme clothing...I mean its bad enough that you can tell that I'm from America but you are really going to take me to the Disney section?! AHH
