Being a good guest

We’ve heard the term and understand the meaning of the “Ugly American” when traveling the world.  I had heard that there can be some prejudice toward Californians coming to Washington.  With this in mind, I’ve tried to enter my new state with a quiet and gentle understanding and be graceful and grateful.

My darling little red Lexus with California license plates has not actually helped.  I am trying to keep a low profile, but driving in a strange town is often confusing, okay, well I did get flipped off by a country boy in a pick up, but so far only one.  I am also grateful that there are few people on our country road so only our neighbors those we most want to befriend saw the bright ORANGE moving van with “Beverly Hills Transportation” on the side!

    I love that you had a BH moving van! Thanks for giving me an out loud chuckle!

    Tell anyone that asks that you are Beverly Hillbillies, moving back to your roots. Ha!
    It may deflect some hostility….and stir up some curiousity!

    This is what I have been searching in quite a few web pages and I ultimately identified it right here. Wonderful post. I am so impressed. Could under no circumstances imagine of these a point is attainable with it…I imagine you have a excellent information in particular while dealings with these kinds of topics.
