Chips with Mayo? Bring in the tomato sauce!

Snacking after a swim at the Lorne's beach restaurant was a treat, but who likes chips with mayo? Bring in some tomato sauce please I asked the waitress. I think it was too much of a brain-tease for her to try to remember orders with all the commotion of the latin music in the background. I understand her it was even hard to eat the chips with that racket...but it was funny to watch though how a bunch of people were trying to learn to dance salsa in a very small area near the restaurant. The instructor: a big aussie bloke yelled out the instructions to the students as the music played..."salsa basic....one and two....salsa basic...turn, clap...salsa basic". It was hilarious! He tried, I mean, to have a 'latin rythm' but it just wasn't in his blood I guess, nor was it in the students who totally uncoordinated tried to follow the very fast moves. The music was worse, if only they understood Spanish, the lyrics were so bad that the mayo went sour. Waitress please bring the tomato sauce!

Fue un placer comer un aperitivo en el restaurant sobre la playa de Lorne, pero a quien le gustan las papas fritas con mayonesa? Moza por favor traiga el ketchup, le pedi. Me parece que era demasiado para ella tratar de acordarse los pedidos con la conmocion de la musica latina sonando de fondo. La entiendo, hasta era dificil comer las papas fritas con ese ruido...pero era divertido mirar como un grupo de gente trataba de aprender a bailar salsa en un cuadradito de verde al lado del restaurant. El instructor: un australiano grandote gritaba las instrucciones a los alumnos mientras la musica sonaba..."paso basico...uno y dos...paso basico...vueltita...aplauso...paso basico". Era graciosisimo!. Pobre, el trataba, quiero decir, de tener ritmo latino, pero creo que no estaba en su sangre ni en la de sus estudiantes quienes totalmente descoordinados trataban de seguir los rapidos movimientos. La musica era peor, si solo pudieran entender espanol, las letras eran tan malas que la mayonesa se puso agria...moza: por favor traiga el ketchup!
