La Rotonda

La Rotonda

When planning our trip we were on a budget, so we wouldn’t spend much money having lunch; we would have some fast food somewhere during the day, trying to save money to have romantic dinners.

As it always happens, our plans changed. The first day at Piriapolis was so nice, so warm, and so perfect that we decided to enjoy a meal overlooking the sea.

After walking for hours we agreed to sit in a restaurant that seemed to be the perfect one (I chose it—my boyfriend almost killed me). The view was perfect but nothing else was.

We asked for two chivitos (like a hamburger—because of the bread and filling ingredients—but with beef inside) and a family Coke because there were no smaller drinks. First the waitress brought us the Coke and glasses which were completely dirty. My boyfriend asked the waitress to change the glasses. She did, but the second glasses were dirty as well…so, very angry and trying not to ruin our romantic lunch, I opened my bag, took a handkerchief, and "cleaned" the lipstick that remained on one of the glasses. We used just one, the cleaner one.

We were so happy that we didn’t want to pay attention to this "little" thing. When the food came we almost got up and left the restaurant, but instead we laughed a lot. They were the worst chivitos we have ever seen! They were inedible! And on top of everything, they were overpriced. We tried to eat them but it was impossible; I saw my boyfriend seasoning the salad and I asked him in amazement, "Will you eat that salad?" He smiled and said, "I’m destroying it so they can’t serve this same salad to anyone else!"

We drank the Coke in the dirty glass and continued our way. Fortunately we were so happy enjoying our first "holiday" together that we were not in the mood to complain—we couldn’t do anything but laugh at this first disappointing experience.
