Some of the things we did today included early morning interviews with three of my beautiful teammates (Natalie, Jackie y Wendy) like that Spanish I did there? Sadly Lori and Marissa and I no hablamos español! Anyway, we were able to perform for them and film some footage with the help of our lovely friend "Stuff" from Orlando Magic (He is their mascot). After that we practiced some more and cleaned up our routines and added some last minute details. We had a break from then until our next appearance that evening. Natalie and I got together and went down to the lobby to order some coffee. When the waitress brought us our coffee we were like "omg these are so tiny" it was like a baby spoon and cup! 5 of those bad boys would equal 1 grande from Starbucks back home.
Later that day we got ready for our appearance on ESPN Pura Quimica, where we performed! We also were in the company of Bruce Bowen where I found out his Spanish is as good as his dance moves! When we got back to the hotel we quickly changed to go out and eat. It had been a while since we had lunch, so we were HANGRY (hungry and angry = hangry). We decided to explore a little so we all got a cab. It kind of reminded me of New York, because the cars definitely do not wait for you to cross the street, so it's all up to you to do the "paying attention!" The drivers are kinda crazy and sometimes make 3 lanes out of a two lane space, and some of the roads don't even have lines to show that there are separate lanes. It's crazy! We finally found a restaurant called Puerto Montt Resto, it had pizza and pasta and a little big of everything. I ordered a pizza, well Natalie ordered for me because yo hablo español poquito, but it was definitely different than the pizza back home! It wasn't Grimaldis that's for sure, but it was still yummy and I was hungry. We got a cab back to the hotel and as soon as we came to a stop, a cop car was behind us flashing his lights and we all looked at each other like are we about to get pulled over? But nothing happened, so Natalie (our translator) asked the driver why they had their lights on and he chuckled and replied to her in Spanish, saying that the cops do it to mess with their eyes or play a joke on them. At least that's what she thinks he said. haha!
We finally got back to the hotel exhausted from our long day and crashed! These past two days have been adventurous and exciting. I can't wait to see what we do the rest of the week! ¡Hasta Luego! (Ya like the Spanish? ;)
Love Bri!
