Conversation Partner: Round 3

The time had come once again for Hanan and I to reconvene at Union Grounds.

We spent the majority of time talking about how Hanan went to Cancun and had an awesome time. Consider this meeting a Spring Break Debriefing.
Hanan got to spend seven glorious days on the white sand beaches. She swam, she snorkeled, she ate a plethora of authentic foodstuffs including guacamole (which I gathered was a delicious oddity to her). Then we talked about tortillas for probably three minutes, until we shifted subjects to her cultural experiences while in Cancun. Hanan visited the Mayan temples and was also able to dive into a cenote. Cenotes are giant open pools formed in the rock that lead to large cavernous bodies of water. Or, essentially, giant sinkholes that the Mayans used to chunk gold and human sacrifices into. She said it was "extremely cold, but beautiful, and truly an experience to remember."

Hanan said it was hard to come back to real life, but that She and Ryan plan to go to the Bahamas next, or maybe Brazil.
We talked for the remainder of our time about the places Hanan has been. France, England, Scotland, Spain, Turkey, Australia, South Africa, and many more. All came highly recommended.
Though Hanan has had a fair amount of marvelous travel, we were able to agree upon a distaste for Florida. It was one of her least favorite trips, mostly because was stung by a jellyfish. She said it was as bad as you would imagine. My time in Florida was also horrible, but that was because I got heatstroke the first day I was there. Perhaps one day I'll try again, but until then Florida and I are


I've never left the United States. So, essentially what I took away from our meeting is that I should leave Texas some time, because the rest of the world is apparently filled with mystical life changing experiences and I'm really missing out.
