I find that observing people gets a bit more interesting as I get older, especially as I work towards having less judgement and biases of what I see. Your narrative reminded me of this. That said, it is easy to see things from our own narrative and not know an entire picture. Perhaps, I'm a bit defensive about this, but I am fluent in Spanish and I have a pretty good accent as well, and I lived in Mexico for a time. I love it when I can practice and the other folks don't mind. I typically have folks immediately respond to me in Spanish and seem to be grateful that a 'gringa' can speak their language well. Perhaps this guy at the deli asked them previously if he could practice with them. Who knows? Anyway, I love reading your observations.
Where did you get your string thing???
