Big hands, little napkins

One of the more frustrating things about having large hands and lengthy fingers here is that I use many napkins. Mexicans tend to have smaller hands than gringos and use less to clean themselves, whereas my pile of dirty servilletas is a small mountain. I should learn to play guitar.

Small hands and small feet go hand-in-hand (pun intended) but luckily I, with a size 10, am lucky that 10 or 11 is usually the highest shoes come. Some gringos I know find it nearly impossible (utz joven, te va´salir más carooo) to find shoes their size.
