“When will you go down again? Your old Traite (cow?) and your crew (plebada – slang of the Sinaola state) Or will we meet some jainitas (Jane’s?) from El Salvador, with tits firm like girls from preparatoria (upper secondary education in Mexico). They can do a head stand and let you pour tequila between their legs. There’s a new place near arenita (a diminutive of arena – sand. Small desert? Sonoran Desert perhaps?) Infinity pools and jacuzzi’s. You get a small room and you lick pussy until you fart from happiness.“ Or something like that :)
