a little background: i'm sitting in a circle trying to teach some kiddies from the sacred valley in peru (with my minimal spanish skills) their numbers in english.
but because it's hard to get babies to focus, this is what went down...
babies: "¿dónde vives?"
translation: where do you live?
cecilia: "los angeles."
literal translation: the angels.
babies (to each other): "ahh, es por eso que ella es tan blanca!"
translation: ohh, that's why she's so white!
maybe being pasty is a good thing...apparently i look like an angel.
