Things every norteamericano learns in Latin America:

That there is no bus ride so bad it can’t be improved by a little salsa…
That there’s always room for one more…
That fresh bread is the stuff of the good life, and that fresh bread hot from the oven is a slice of heaven…
That every drink tastes better after a round of toasts except water, and why drink water?
That market day is a baaad day to go shopping…unless you’re actually at a market...
That once you leave, whatever country you’re missing, the scent of of diesel will always take you back!
