after practicing asking for una cervesa fria it turns out they don´t even call it that, they use the slang spanglish una beera instead. i drank my first beera at the gallinero or chicken-coup bar with two of my host brothers and their friends sergio, johnny and randall (who are also brothers). there are two national beers, pilsen and imperial, and over about 20 or so they taught me how to curse in spanish and i told them a couple of choice words in russian. then they started doing impromptu karaoke to music of the familya fernandez (there´s papa fernandez, his son who also became a singer, their cousin, and their gardener).
the next day suprisingly i was the most alert student in class, probably because i had passed on my cold to the bahamans - still feel a little guilty about that. me, i am feeling better and am over the worst of it save for a nasty cough and runny nose.
