hey foreign service brat

similar upbringing in distant lands...born in BA (older bro and sis fluent in Spanish, me just a smattering) Beirut, Barcelona, Casablanca...

dad traveled all over the world, not for USGov but for Chiclets, of all things!

cool story about the tape, beatles/friend coincidence and all.

i do i think my matriotism/patriotism, and my respect and love for peoples of other countries/faiths, etc,  was enriched from these experiences. it has taken on different hues over the years, of course.

did you meet "ugly americans"?..."ignorant americans" more like it. we sure did...
