I AM NOT a tourist!

"I'm not a tourist. I live here" has been this week's motto. It's kind of fun telling people (legit tourists and locals alike) that I work in La Paz. On Sunday I was looking at a sign up sheet at church for our anniversary lunch and a random person walked up to me and started explaining what it said (in English). I let him go on for a few moments before interrupting by saying, "Gacias, ¡ya pedí el pollo!" (Thanks, I already ordered the chicken!). I think the guy was quite embarrassed when he realized that my Spanish is halfway descent. Remember, when anyone every mistakes you for a tourist, turn to them and say in a calm voice, "I'm not a tourist. I live here!"
