Stupid Gringo Tourists

We rode out to Cabo San Lucas from the resort where we're staying yesterday. One of the passengers was a stupid older man from the States, along with his stupid older wife. The man was sitting shotgun and subjecting our poor driver to a never-ending barrage of stupid questions. There were so many good ones to choose from but this one takes the cake:

"How many lanes was this road in 1994?"

Most...Stupid...Question...EVER! Who fucking cares how many lanes the road was twelve years ago? Is that really all you can think of to ask, aside from the other 100 equally stupid questions you entertained yourself with?

When we were finally dropped off, the driver looked as through he had been punched in the solar plexus for 30 straight minutes. This is why tourists from the United States have such a bad reputation. It wouldn't have even been so bad if there had been some real conversation to put the questions into a more appropriate context, but NO... These puppies were coming fast and furious from out of nowhere. Tactless, socially inept, generally clueless. This man was a national embarrassment.

Sigh...

Other than that, the trip is going well. We're having loads of fun and enjoying some beautiful sights. More details to come. Love to all!
