I am currently in the tourist mecca of La Fortuna, the town closest to the active volcano Arenal (to which I have booked a tour tomorrow). In my wanderings around town this afternoon, I saw a place called Cafe Vienna. Naturally I had to go check it out. The guy behind the counter greeted me in English (how could he tell I was a Gringa?) so I asked him if anyone there was actually associated with Wien. Yes, he was from there. I thought to myself, Great, now I can practice that German that I am so fluent in. I opened my mouth, but I could not think of one word in German. All I had in my head was Spanish.
I guess I am only fluent on the other side of the fence.
