Does anyone know whether ETASA/Transporte Terrestre has communication by WhatsApp?

It’s website says,

If transportation is needed to other destinations please contact us by e-mail at etasa9209@gmail.com. It will be our pleasure to serve you.

I sent email weeks ago asking to reserve a taxi to Troncones for my 8:00 p.m. arrival on October 12. I haven’t received a reply. I wonder if the email address is not monitored or whether it is not a correct/current email address.

I could try telephoning them, but given my limited Spanish competencies, I don’t want to risk messing this up.

They may be a little slow on their e-mail. Give'em a call!

:squintingfacewithtongue:

I’ll give that a try.

But I’m concerned that when I arrive I might find out that I agreed by telephone to marry someone’s daughter with three kids.

I’ve already been “embarazada” by confusing “cansado” and “casado”, :blush:

Each of the three words in quotation marks have caused me embarrassment at some point over the years. (The list is much longer.)

After hearing a term used repeatedly among friends, I tried to use it casually in a conversation with others, who were horrified.

I won’t use the words here, but if you think of the pinchers on a crab and the Spanish word for goat, you’ll understand.

I absolutely adore malaprops. I will sometimes say, "Adios, Amoebas!" to my friends. Or if it is a group of women, I will say, "Adios, Machacas!" I have a business associate who speaks perfect Spanish. I play the dumb gringo whose Spanish is very dicey. When we are talking up potential clients, I will try to lighten the conservation by saying, "Somos sucios."

A little slow. I've sent them a few emails over the years and never got a response.
