Lady: Where are you two from?

Amigo: I'm from Cuernavaca. This guy is a historian from Texas.

Lady: Wow... so far away. Well, you are welcome here, even if you don't want us there. You are always welcom here.

Me: ***slightly choking on a really good chorizo meatball and turning red out of shame for a lack of hospitality on the part of my patria.***

Sub-text: Yeah, we're not all that wealthy, but we have hospitality. It must suck to have so much and still have so little. Caray.
