I had the most amazing experience with the locals. They were wonderful. I'm glad your experience today has been similar! :)Heather Raehttp://www.insearchofsquid.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1098737005229942449.post-85725265301169052512012-04-25T13:22:21.408-07:002012-04-25T13:22:21.408-07:00That first photo is absolutely stunning - one of t...That first photo is absolutely stunning - one of the best I have ever seen!My Piece of the Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10945383750411290285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1098737005229942449.post-7848359887897457382012-04-25T13:10:10.229-07:002012-04-25T13:10:10.229-07:00This is awesome.

I've tried to convince myself that the reason I loved it so much is just that it was different and exotic just so I can focus on trying to go to new places that I haven't been, but the people are truly just so nice, patient, fun and helpful there. The way they smile and wave for no reason, how they joke and laugh and stumble over their English when you're trying to order food. And with the number of tourists there they would have every reason to be angry and jaded, but they're not. Great post!Russhttp://idealistcafe.com/blog/noreply@blogger.com
