Absolutely. Persistence. I really admire your desires to learn as fast as you could, because you want to relate better with the locals and not miss out. I admire even the Spanish you speak now, and that is stuff about process. What you have gone through brought you here, shaped you and gave you the result. The efforts behind it all sure brought you both here.

If you keep doing this with the same intensity, you guys will be unstoppable. Gracias Amigos...
