I think she actually enjoyed the banter with the service people but was also amused by their behavior.

LoL. You wouldn't have said so if you'd met me in Amsterdam back then. I struggled to put together a coherent sentence on an international meeting, held in English. I felt so embarrassed that I quit my job, went to California and learned your language properly. ;) During that time I ate English books.

Spain has as always been a romantic place for me.

Nice. You found that romantic mood one more time?
