- Lesson number one learned in San Jose: Don't play cards with children who will play better than you. I just lost seven times in a row to a girl who had only seen the card game played once, yes once.
- Lesson number two learned: Don't take out your camera unless you want to be trampled by a stampede of children. (Don't underestimate them; they can be just as frightening as a real stampede.) "Take my picture! Genny, take my picture! Can I take the picture? Let me do it!" You also have to show them the picture after you take it or else you'll be stalked until you show them.
- Number three: Taking showers in the rain is possibly better than the ones you take behind doors.
- Number four: The people here are the nicest strangers you'll ever meet. Their smiles are as frequent as the rain.
- Number five: I'm debating telling every modeling agency in the world that if they're looking for a person who is drop-dead gorgeous, knows how to work a pout, and has got attitude and facial expressions that will strike them blind, they should go straight to San Jose.
No te creo!

Oh the memories!!!
The picture thing was always a scary event! haha, and yes, the stampedes are more intense than a stampede of elephants (I assume, never experienced the elephants!!)
As for the showers, ha, I beg to differ!!!!!!
You think these people are beautiful now? Wait until you get back into the states, I think my quote was about us as americans, not getting hit with the ugly stick, but the whole tree!!! They truly are beautiful people, inside and out, and yes, the smiles are frequent, and up lifting! Enjoy the rest of your stay! When do you guys return? I've forgotten, I'm sorry!!
