Ice!

I totally forgot to talk about ICE in my last post...

Today I learned that it's totally weird to put ice in your drinks.  Ice, I guess, is only commonly used in the summer. So, today when I put some crushed ice in my water, Cata and Yannet looked at me like I was CRAZY.  No joke.  They both seriously stopped what they were doing and just stared at me.  And I said, "Que?"  And Cata said in Spanish (don't worry, I'll be so kind to translate for you), "What the heck are you doing freaky American woman?  Why the heck would you put that crazy ice in your perfectly normal water, you wack0?!"  

So, maybe Cata didn't freak out that much.  But she definitely did say something like, "Ice in your water?  That's weird."  And I said, "Yeah!  I love, love, love ice.  I love ice more than I love the drink."  And then they explained to me that ice is only used in the summer.  

But, it was just kind of hilarious how they both stopped and stared at me when I put ice in my cup like I was some crazy person.

Okay...now it's laundry time.
