You have found the rude dude to be worthy of reconsideration from your first viewpoint. That is the mark of maturity so many today miss altogether. Glad to hear your heading back to some center of employment, looking forward to more of your posts! Your travel log has been a great source of fun, as has your comments with the pictures. You ever thought of doing a 'travel' book for the person who wants to really see the world about them?
