Landed in Leon last night, Montezuma's revenge and all. I will put together a sheet on Leon. It's the least I can do for the amount of knowledge I've gained from you good gentleman.
1 month here, then I'm going to try Guanajuato /San Miguel De allende. A couple quick impressions of Leon: The gym I signed up at had some very nice looking ladies, as well as just from roaming the street last night. The people here, at least the ones I've met are sweethearts. The owner of the gym offering a 60% discount for me, I guess because we just hit it off and he's a Trump supporter??!!
The owner of the airbnb offering to take me to the grocery store last night, this week to the bull fights, and to the Tanneries which Leon us known for.
The Romanian lady at the front desk of the gym basically blocking the exit so that she could ask me about america, practicing her english, and wanting to take me to eat at the local Guaycamayas.
You don't see this type of hospitality in the US. Everyone has their face planted in their iphone, blinders on, snobby or standoffish.
I stand out no doubt. People are so short. I'm only 5'11", but look down on everyone. The university girls that I rode the bus back with from the gym, all 8 of them, not only skipped their stop, but escorted me all the the way to my door. All the way giggling, trying to I guess salsa with me, but happy and smiling the whole time.
Travelling outside the US or the west in general should be every man's goal if not already done. It makes you feel appreciated, accepted, honered, and with such a feminine or respected way. It's the true secret.
Man does it open ones eyes.
Love this line bolded above from Br3. I just went to Cuba which was my 66th country. But I feel like I have just scratched the "surface" of the earth.
