I Guess Everyone Was Right After All...

Today was an interesting day for realizations. There's this one woman at Tesoros de Dios that seemed so fascinating and familiar to me. Then I realized why. She looks just like my aunt. Mom, please verify.

And then, I saw a little boy who looks just like my brother did when he was little. Mom, please verify again.

So Nica-Eric made me realize that after all these years, everyone was right. Apparently my family and I do look hispanic and can easily be misjudged. No wonder I'm always offered the Spanish menu in the US.

Melanie--- I love your posts! Your trip reminds me of our 8-week trip across country. Sometimes it was so HARD (as in the insect bites) and then sometimes it was just amazing (as in Ramon). Luckily, the bites will disappear and the good memories will linger. I am just amazed at all you're accomplishing. Thanks for keeping in touch:-)
