Right or left?
Exit here or there?
Only a few miles (define a few).
As we have traveled, even with a navigational system,
sometimes because of road construction or missing the turn you get lost.
Women admit this easily,
accept reality
and start asking for directions.
(pleading, whatever it takes)
We left Barcelona Tuesday, headed for Montserrat, described as an easy one hour trip. Confused , the first guy we asked for assistance pointed saying,
"way around the mountain, long way, over there."
Grazie
We remained lost after driving another thirty minutes.
I am so disappointed the following exchange was not on video,
it would show how stubborn men can be and
how women give in to keep peace.
Still lost, we pulled off at a gas station.
A cheerful woman tried to explain directions to us; pointing at our map.
Her English was limited, our Spanish more limited.
A truck driver pulls in she knows. "Pedro, you know English. Help!"
He starts to give guidance,
"no,no!" she says.
They disagree and wave arms at each other.
She starts to correct him.
He doesn't like it, and keeps giving us wrong directions according to her.
She gives him the "you're nuts look!" backs up, puts her hand up by her mouth, so he can't see, and lips different directions to us.
Shaking her head at him and smiling at us.
We thank them graciously.
Back on the road again, we have a decision -
First exit - he said or
Third exit - she said.
