Americans in Madriz

Embassy guy: Yeah, so it's curious when you experience these kinds of exchanges...I've always learned Latin-American Spanish so it's always been interesting to compare different words for things. For example just the other day, I said I was "aparcando mi carro," and people were wondering why I still had a horse-drawn carriage.

Embassy lady:
So yeah, you gotta be careful, because these pickpockets are slick here. I mean when I was in Rome, they were throwing ketchup out of trees! Just unbelievable, some things... so when ketchup falls on you, don't look up, just keep your belongings very close to you.
