Here comes that lady!!!!!

We started a basic routine this week by going to Marapendi Clube, having lunch there and then the kids go off to their lessons. People know who we are because we are basically the stand-out foreigners that don't speak well.
Then, on Thursday, as I was driving out of the club to search for cars, the guard at the entrance stopped me- something that had never happened before, and most certainly not at the exit gate...
I rolled down my window and he started talking full speed ( I can understand most if they speak slowly), so this is the closest to what I could understand:" hello, @#$ @#$ bla bla bla, lady, blabla, cantina [in spanish it means bar, what bar???], she said, kkjjk 18 bla bla, cantina, {this guy and his bar, what's with this???] you, bla bla, go, bla bla, bla ,bla" and then suddenly I heard the equivalent to" you no pay", and it dawned on me: Eric and I walked out of the snack bar without paying!!!!!!!! He kept on talking and then I understood that the lady had said I could pay later if I wanted, but I was so embarrassed that I went there Immediately.
From there on, she smiles widely at me!!!!
