It finally hit me.

Today was a pretty significant day for me. I had to get a new metro card today, as my old one ran out of uses. The machine was broken, so I had to talk to the securtiy guard. He walks over to the machine with me, and begins talking to me in English. I didn´t even know adults here could speak English, this was the first I had heard anyone over the age of 30 use English. He was explaining to me why it wasn´t working, then when I asked him a question, he looked utterly perplexed. Long story short, he was speaking in Spanish the whole time, I just happen to understand everything perfectly enough that I just presumed it was in English. I laughed at myself, responded in Spanish, and made it to close just in time after my delay. All in all, it was a pretty good day. Paris por la mañana en la mañana. Ciao. Besos.
