Shake Hands and Make Nice

Well Colombia and Ecuador can´t get along but Brendan and the t-shirt guy can.

On Monday, I ran into Sr. T-Shirt selling his wares on the street. I saw him and walked by and didn´t look back. But then I decided to turn around and talk to him.

I went up to him. He may or may not have recognized me (i was wearing the same clothes as the day before). I am not sure. He seemed to be agreeable to speak with me, unlike 24 hours earlier. I apologized for my joke - I told him that I was just kidding.

He shook my hand and seemed to walk me away from his booth as he said ´have a nice day´ (in English). I do not know if he accepted the apology but that is all he is going to get.

It has been 4 days since the incident and, I believe, I have not offended anyone.

Yeah me!

I did offend a friend via email but that was last week. I am a changed man.

We don't need any international incidents - say no more to Sr. Tee Shirt!
