Dana CP #6

I drove with my conversation partner on the west side of town.  I let him direct me in English to the first destination-Target.  We were in search of a computer cable.  We talked about various landmarks along the way and I queried him about vocabulary words for some of the high-frequency nouns one would expect to know about the street, cars, buildings, parking lots, traffic etc. I had him practice some of the new words he was learning.  A homeless person came up to me and asked for money.  My CP asked me if she wanted money.  I told him yes.
     We went into the Target looking for the cable. In retrospect, I probably should have had him ask the sales attendant for the item.  They did not have it.  We left and my CP gave me the verbal directions to WalMart. As we approached,  he was looking at Google maps.  I know from our conversation that he has been to this place several times. I told him to look around at the landmarks instead, and tell me if he thought we were getting close.  He did as I suggested and saw the signs, saying " turn right here."
     We went into the store and he said he thought he knew where the item could be found.  I followed him as he led the way.  Voila, they had the item I needed. I paid and we left.
We then had a long discussion about food, his favorite restaurants and deciding where to go for lunch. He didn't know the meaning of "decision" but I explained it and told him the decision about where to go for lunch was a decision he was going to have to make.  It came down to Chipotle or ChickFilet.
He decided upon ChickFilet mostly because he likes the ChickFilet sauce on the fries.  He directed me to that place.  He ordered, I ordered and then we got a seat.  I began a conversation about American football.  He had been to a college football game at Doak Campbell stadium.  He explained that with his student ID he could go to FSU  sporting events for free.  I was unaware of this. We then had a discussion about Superbowl Sunday, the teams, the fact that many of the big cities in the USA have professional football teams.  I used my phone to show him photos of some of the different team helmets and jerseys.  We then looked at some of the FSU team jerseys hanging on the wall at ChickFilet. We parted ways, agreeing to see each other at CIES next week.
