There is a special building that has a rectangular shape which is about 5 stories tall and has a wide gable roof on top. It is very stately looking with tall windows on each floor. The buildings with its signature shape are for a consumer store which they build in every city around the world. And I am going around the world finding this building. I'm traveling with friends and they know that I always look for this building in every city I visit. We are in Mexico and we are wandering around while I search for the store.
This time, the building is a bit of a chameleon. It isn't a stand-alone building, but it's a façade of the shape placed over another taller building. It looks like the right shape, but I feel cheated that it isn't a stand-alone building. We go inside and my friends want to eat, so we go to the café counter and order some food. I'm not really hungry but I don't want to be left out. My friend C orders a whole dish of some mac and cheese, and my other friend D just orders an enormous avocado. This isn't a regular Hass avocado or even a large Florida avocado. It's about 9" long with green bumpy avocado skin. I've never seen anything like it.
I really don't know what to get, so I stand in front of shelves of sauces and decide to pick one by closing my eyes and using my arm with a Ouija board motion. I really don't think it's going to work, but to my surprise, my arm lifts up on its own, not under my control. It lands on a narrow bottle and I open my eyes and look at it. It looks like a hot sauce but it's not in English so I can't tell. I turn it around and I see that the second ingredient looks like it could be sugar. I don't want a sweet sauce, so I put it back. I try the Ouija arm motion again. This time it lands on a wider bottle. It doesn't have sugar as the 2nd ingredient so I'm satisfied and sit down at the table. I've taken so much time that C is already eating her mac and cheese and D has cut the avocado in half, taken out the seed, and whipped the soft flesh up inside the skin, which serves as a bowl. We decide to split the avocado since it's so big and I use my sauce with it.
Then I remember why I love this building so much. It had the coolest elevators. The cafe is on the top floor, so we have to take an elevator down. There are some strangers with me as we wait for the elevator. The door opens up and it's a full bathroom. And it's warm like someone just took a shower in there. The strangers say no way are we getting into that! And I say suit yourself and walk in. This is a really nice large luxury bathroom with white marble and fancy lighting. One wall is completely a mirror. It's also super fast so when it goes down, I jump up and am suspended in the air. I think this is really cool so I put my feet down and get my phone to take a picture of myself floating in the mirror. Then I realize that if I take a picture no one would believe that I was actually floating in the air and not just snapping the picture while I jump. I don't care and jump again and float in the air because it's so cool.
