"Dee Chocolatay" is how you pronounce what I wrote in the title. I called room service and ordered a salad and a chicken dish and a dessert. The dessert was chocolate cake.
If you're in a spanish speaking country and you call for room service, they expect you to speak spanish, so the first thing I say is "Ingles?" This is to signal that I am english speaking, so if you can speak english that would be great. However, I still try to express myself in spanish as much as possible. The man on the other end of the line was SO nice! The menu has a spanish section and an english section so I could figure out what I wanted to order, but still read from the spanish.
- Salade de Tomate (The english says that is a tomato and mozzarella and basil salad - Caprese?)
- Milanesa de Pollo (the english says that is chicken milanese with cheese sauce, mashed potatoes and vegetables.)
OK - chocolatay
He said, Si!
a Teaching moment!

Weren't you all both have been tested yesterday? (Friday)
If you were, I sure hope it was negative. Looking forward going on your trip with you as much as you are doing it.

Nope, the Friday test was positive for Jim. We won't be going on this tour at all. Now we're just waiting for a negative test so we can catch a flight home.
