So long New York

The internship is over and I am back in D.C. On the bus to the rental car agency, we passed a bar with a sign in the window:

SE NECESITA
BARMAIDS

That is what I will miss about New York. The creolization that is continually occurring. Whoever wrote that sign knew what they were trying to express and the only way to do it was to combine a little Spanish and English.

ME GUSTA
NEW YORK CITY

A Hot and Tasty . . . Salad?

There's this bakery near my summer job called "Hot & Tasty. " They also offer salads made-to-order, which I've had a few times this summer. This week I noticed the banner on their window that says, "Enjoy a Hot and Tasty Salad."

Yes, I always enjoy my salads piping hot.
