We made a new friend. Gaylen had begun to visit with woman from the former Soviet Union. She said her husband had gotten sick from something he had eaten and told her to go on to dinner. When our table was ready we asked her to join us three seniors! She agreed and we exchanged a brief synopsis of who we were and are. I cannot pronounce her name and neither can either Phillip or Gaylen! I can tell you that she came as a student in 1998 and attended Tampa Bay University, she has a13 year old daughter and her husband is the President Emeritus of Tampa Bay University. One of the great benefits of traveling like this being an ambassador of sorts and reaching out to others! Our waitress or server was from Bulgaria and is here in the States on a student work/study program! The wife and the student both said that what had impressed them most about this country was how warm and friendly Americans are! ROM
