Frank Matt Sara Hali Andrew Lost Their Chance

Tonight we decided to finish the evening sitting in Plaza Mayor with the locals, and discuss the events throughout the day. We were one group out of many, just watching the people interact throughout the space throughout the carnival of entertainers

While photographing people in Plaza Mayor, an old man noticed us and proceeded over to introduce himself to us, assuming we were tourists of some sort. Being the nice human being I am, I of course said "hello."

He didn't respond.

"Habla Ingles?"

No response, just a wave.

"Habla Aleman?" (Please don't tell the Spanish teacher.)

Still no response. He instead started to gesture to us. As we all looked in confusion, he proceeded to sit down, take out a pen, and use a tourist guide as makeshift stationary.

On it he wrote "Come up to the highest level."

"Shrink your presumption."

By this time, we were not sure quite what to think. We had assumed he was trying to sell us Hashish, or beg for change. He proceeded to write down "To understand the idea of God..." and pulled out a grape. Sara remarked "that's the biggest grape I've ever seen."

He then proceeded to split the grape... perfectly... and offered it to us. Of course, being from Clemson and not Texas A&M, we all politely declined. Although disappointed, he was not surprised.

"Frank
Matt
Sara
Hali
Andrew
Have lost their chance.

But this does not exonerate any of these persons from their duty to stop doing harm to the common interests of humans.

The refusal to share this fruit is the result of fear, educated and grown by motherhood and apple pie. From now on, Sept. 23. 07. All of you have to offer and share your privileges before being asked, of course, if you don't, you will lose them, so this is a friendly warning to all those who this word [of] God without having understood."

With that he handed us the card, and left the plaza. By then all of the other people sitting around us had vanished- an entirely new crowd of people were in the space, and we were the only ones left sitting.
