¿Dónde están nuestras pizzas?

Jeff and I had a major breakthrough today in our Spanish speaking abilities...or so we thought. We decided to order pizza delivery from Telepizza. We wrote down on paper exactly what we were going to say with the correct verb conjugations and everything. We tried calling their toll free automated number but it was a bit confusing. After listening to it a couple times we figured out which number to press. However, nothing happened.

We decided to just call the actual location in Valpo. Jeff spoke to the person on speaker phone. It actually went pretty smoothly and we were able to understand most of what was being said. We ordered two medium pizzas each with three toppings. The guy asked if we wanted soda and we said no but he told us it came with it so we got Coke Light. He said the pizza would be delivered in what we thought was thirty minutes.

We were so happy he understood us and we kind of understood him that we texted Nacho to tell him and to find out how much to tip the drivers. Nacho called us and was very proud. He said when he first tried to order in English it took him five tries. We haven't told him what happened yet.

I waited by the window looking out for the motorcycle delivery man for over a half hour. Then Jeff came in and looked out too. We waited for almost two hours! After two and a half hours we decided our pizzas were not coming. We couldn't even call Telepizza because we had no idea what to say to them and we were feeling so discouraged we didn't even want to deal with it. We ended up eating sandwiches for dinner instead and watching True Blood. Needless to say it was a disappointing night.

On another note, check out this beverage we got:If you had to guess what would you think it was? Milk?

Actually it's:APPLE JUICE! What the heck? I bought this apple juice at the supermarket because it was light so it'd have less sugar and when I went to pour it I was surprised to find that it was white! The picture on the back of the box has a woman pouring the juice into a glass and it's brown. So I'm not sure if we got a defective one or if it's false advertising. Not only does it look weird it also tastes kinda different. It's really sweet and initially it tastes like cider but then turns into a strange taste that you're not quite sure if you like or not. I drank the whole thing but I don't think I'd buy it again.

I hope you all have been enjoying our blog. We were a little sad that nobody commented on Domo Domingo. We were thinking of doing Domo Domingo every Sunday or at least every other Sunday but if no one likes it we probably won't do it anymore. So comment if you want another Domo Domingo video!
