In the movie the old man spoke the names of businesses as he passed them. It drove his son-in-law to distraction. I realized that my husband does that. He will read the names of 100 restaurants as we pass but not stop at any.
Does he do things like that to hear his own thoughts? How can I possibly know. The thing I do know is "I am very hungry, I don't speak Spanish. We are in Mexico.I can order for us at KFC." On Good Friday in Mexico KFC should not only be spoken but stopped at.

Hi, Barbara. I like this story's tone, it is deeply reflective. The short sentences feel nice sandwiched between the two longer sentences to begin and end the story.
