Don't apologize at all, Jeanine. Good stories must be shared with my readers. I am planing to write about these stories too. In Montevideo I was invited to a party with local people by a couple I was talking in the beer line. It was a unforgetable day.

Yeah! And it's fantastic how we can immediatly perceive who will be a good companion (both for a friendship or a romantic partner).

"Situations must deviate from the script so that there's a story, something extraordinary"
This is so true - Some of the best experiences (and best encounters) on a trip are the most unexpected...
