Particularly the people who speak decent English until there is a problem and then don't understand any language. My favorite is a woman who quoted us a price on a hotel room in English and then after we had paid and were about to leave a local came in and, in Spanish, got a room for a couple of bucks less. When we asked her, in Spanish - which she didn't think we spoke, all of the sudden she didn't understand ANY language until we gave up and accepted it as a gringo tax. I have some catching up to do reading the blog but should have time as Kara and I are back from our trip and slowly readjusting to life over here in NYC. We have been lazy on the blog but plan to keep it going in the next few days as we get our groove back. Enjoy your journey and keep writing. -Travis I would have to agree on all counts!
