I took my kids out for a walk in one of the parks in Lisbon yesterday, and had this lady come up and ask me for some directions. Turned out she was an American from Seattle. She was really nice, very polite, and I was quite impressed that she asked me if I could speak English before she started launching into he questions.
The thing that struck me was that she was the complete opposite to the stereotypical American tourist that a lot of non-Americans like to believe is the norm. I'm not sure what the point of this thread is, but I thought it was nice that this lady is out there doing the US proud.
It may even sound somewhat condescending that I found this event to worthy of a thread, but I guess it's more that, just occasionally, it's nice to write about the positive things that happen in our lives, rather than to focus on the negative all the time.
Apparently, I don't have Roxio on this machine, which is strange. So yeah... What's the best free one? Just need to copy some of our CDs for the show tomorrow night. Woot!
