So I was walking down the street today and some guy steps up and starts talking to me. I stood there listening to him ramble on in Spanish then I asked him if he spoke English. He did not.

So.....

I start throwing out random words....Actually, most of them were not words at all as far as I know. I'm saying all sorts of shit while pointing at street signs and looking like I am totally lost. Every once in awhile I'd throw in a real word that he could understand so that I would keep his attention.

This went on for about 15 minutes while the guy tried to help me. All he really could tell was that I was not Spanish and I seemed to be lost.

Finally I pulled the hotel key card out of my wallet and showed it to him. The hotel was in clear sight about a block or so away. He laughed and pointed at the hotel. I said "gracias" then turned away and continued the direction I was headed which was away from the hotel.

Poor guy really looked confused at that point.
