I was just walking back from the market (that sounds so quaint and romantic – in reality it is Carrefour – Europe’s Wal-Mart). Anyway, this car pulled over and a woman got out (I could see a man and two children inside) and asked me, “DO YOU SPEAK ENGLISH????” (albeit in a British accent). She probably thought I was nuts – I was so EXCITED as I gleefully said “YES”. (I’ve been the one asking that question for two weeks and now someone was ASKING me!!)
Anyway, she wanted to know if I knew where KIDZONE was. It just so happened that I did (even though I have no idea WHAT it is). I had seen it a little bit earlier when I was looking for this Swedish church I read about that is having a benefit jazz concert tonight. So, I just felt so LOCAL standing there on the street giving a foreigner directions!!!!
I never did find the church – I know it’s somewhere close to “Wal-Mart” but I’ll ask the reception here at the hotel. In the meantime, I am off to the battlefield for the afternoo
