Flight 1783 to Bogota

It started with hello. I turned to the guy beside me and said hello. Turns out he's a flight student named Mario on his way back home after finishing his studies in the US. He gave me loads of tips and places to go and people to see in Colombia, offered his grandma's house for a rest stop and even his friends help in other countries in South America. Colombians truly are the happiest people on earth!


We sat beside each other in silence from JFK to Orlando. And then we talked the whole way down from Orlando where the plane stopped to drop off vacationing New Yorkers and pick up a whole bunch of Colombians! I need to learn to say hello more often.
