My car broke down,I&#8217;ll have to take a bus to San Francisco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seriously,though,I mean we,let me take you back to San Francisco. It&#8217;s going to be faster and cheaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I appreciate the offer,but I think I&#8217;ll take the bus. Yeah,I suppose you have to be careful,you just can&#8217;t drive with anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I still don&#8217;t even know your last name. Mendoza,Actually,it&#8217;s Alberto Manuel Mendoza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s a pretty good Spanish accent. My family is from Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where in Mexico? A little village west of Monterey\u2026So,what&#8217;s your full name?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rehecca Mary Theresa Casey. My grandparents are from Ireland. Dublin?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No,from the west,it&#8217;s a little town in Galway. I&#8217;m told it&#8217;s a beautiful place,but it&#8217;s a very poor town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My family&#8217;s village was poor,too. You know,no money,no jobs,just politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I guess that&#8217;s why both our families moved to the United States. Oh,yeah,that&#8217;s right to have a better life,to get an education,and to make a living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yeah,well,my family never did. Well,hey,you&#8217;ll be the first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What do you mean? Come on,you&#8217;ll write some wonderful pop song and become a huge hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yeah,I like the way you think. Me,too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wow,these <strong>canyons<\/strong> are <strong>spectacular<\/strong>. Yeah,it,it says here that these canyons were sacred to the Agua Caliente Indians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s pronounced Agua Caliente. Agua Caliente. AGUA CALIENTE\u3002<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now I&#8217;ve got to take some photos,do you mind carrying my bag? No,not at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s hard to imagine what these canyons were like so many years ago. Probably much the same as they are today\u2026look at that over there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is really amazing,they must call this a desert <strong>oasis<\/strong>. Yeah,I bet you these palm trees are over a hundred years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is it. Could you do me a favor? Umhmm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I,I need someone in this picture,can you stand over by the palm tree? Alberto,there are more interesting things to photograph here than me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No really,I&#8217;m serious. I,I,I need you in the picture to give the picture a sense of scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But,I,I don&#8217;t know. Please.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well,since you&#8217;ve gone out of your way,I guess it&#8217;s the least I can do. All right,yeah,stand over that palm tree to your right. There,perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes.
