How we knew we were back in America

We knew we were back in America for our first meal when:

1.  We had to wait 10 minutes to be seated.

2.  The menu was in English - I actually knew every ingredient in every dish before I ordered!  This actually became a time intensive process as I slowly read every item and and imagined every combination of flavors before deciding.  

3.  We could order our dish without sour cream and it actually came that way!

4. There was no Limonada de Coco on the menu.  I am seriously craving that drink!

5.  The wait staff was overly happy hoping for a good tip.

6.  All our food was brought at once - no one had to eat alone.

7.  The portions were huge - our whole family could have shared one meal!

8.  The check was shoved under our nose the moment the last bite of food touched our lips. Of course the disclaimer "whenever you are ready" accompanied it, but we knew they wanted to hustle us out the door.

It's good to be home!
