talked me into drinking a caipirinha, which is a Brazilian drink that has much more alcohol than I like.\u00a0 Foolishly I had two.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After awhile, a young lady came to my table and said, &#8220;They told me you are from Texas and I want to practice my English with you.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, in Texas, she

sitting inside, told me her friend is Eduardo and he is shy, and he teaches English.\u00a0 We talked a few minutes about her life and she asking things about the US, and eventually she rejoined her

new people like this I think of my incredible Mother who loves everyone, so I asked them if I can take a picture for her.\u00a0 No one has ever refused.\u00a0 So, here is a picture of me, Karen and Eduardo :<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"529\" height=\"397\" class=\"wp-image-4533\"
