Falling Hard

I feared I had made a very bad mistake when the Chinese scholar I invited to my summer place insisted that she didn’t like “American” food, cheese, or wine. After one Chinese buffet I told her that she would have to eat the food here as it’s part of the cultural experience. Then I took her to sample some wine and cheese. The wine made her sleepy, but she became an instant cheese head. After devouring a block of sharp cheddar, she inquired whether it would make her fat. Rather than tell her of the other possible consequence, I took her to taco night… In any case, we did the full tourist thing. Allison LOVED it here, calling it paradise and regretting aloud that she had just wasted her money going to Yellowstone Gardens! Say what?! Very apples and oranges. She averaged around 500 photos per outing and managed to take down the wifi here with all the videos she was sending home. Pressure's on for the next guests to be so enthusiastic!...
