Day 33

Today I met Susie after being harassed by a man in a chipper for guess what?-being American.  She started talking to us appalled by the fact that this is a normal thing.  After we finished our incredible chips they asked us if we wanted to follow them to a bar they thought we would like.  It was hidden down a side alley and we would have never found it if we didn't meet locals like them.  The place was great with lots a big tables to sit and talk.  Susie ended up having to leave so that she could catch a plane in the morning but she gave us a hug and the most enthusiastic "it was so good to meet you."  She was literally the sweetest thing ever and she made me feel like we had known each other a long time.  It's people like Susie that give me hope and make me forget about the people who choose to judge us before they know us, whether they're drunk in a chipper or not.
