Woops!

For a second in time I thought I was catching onto this whole Spanish thing...until the other night. Kate and I, along with our new Texas friends, were walking into a restaurant for dinner, and there was a lovely fella welcoming us at the door. He so kindly said "¡Hola!" and I naturally replied "¡Gracias!" I wasn't even phased for a good couple seconds, until I finally realized how our conversation went down-he said "Hello!" and I replied "Thank you!"
