Hi,
I was wondering why the "present" tense is used in Spanish for "llamar" which is then translated in the future tense. Why not llamaremos?
Después de la fiesta llamamos a un taxi.
After the party we will call a taxi.
Thank you.

Hola Nicole
This is because we sometimes use the present tense to refer to a future action.
Here is a lesson that explains this. Have a look.
