Fer Shure!

Fer Shure Dude! Just another crazy adventure here in Spain. Jonathan and I went out to dinner at a place we have been trying to go to for a week. It is called Draps and it is one of the best restaurants in the city.

It was a great date night...... romantic table for two in the non smoking part of the restaurant (yes they still allow smoking in public places here) a great waitress who was teaching us a little catalan, good bread an amazing bottle of wine ........ we ordered a Mediterranean Salad and a chicken dish to share...... they were playing American music. We got to hear some songs from Grease and the Bee Gee's....... and then came the FER SHURE!!! and an explosion of laughter! A group of French speaking Belgians sat down next to us and they were having a great time. They were laughing and talking and they just kept saying Fer Shure! So one of them would make a comment and the other would say Fer Shure! It was hard not to laugh with them as it has been years since Jonathan or I had heard someone say Fer Shure! in a total valley girl way. So after about 15 minutes of this I had to ask why they kept saying Fer Shure! (now mind you this is a group of business men in suits with european glasses, very proper looking) They told us that there is a comedian in Belgium that has a show where all he says is Fer Shure! So apparently he brings English speaking people on the show and has them talk (he can't speak any english ) and all he says to them is Fer Shure! We have yet to find this comedian on the internet but you can bet that when we do we will share him with you! FER SHURE!
Here is a pic with me and the Belgians........
