Can Julio come to panama city in december and drive me around?
Julio would be THRILLED to come and drive you if he can. Not kidding.
do you think he's using a web translator or is his english/grammar just that bad?
No, he's been working on his written English and tells me that he carefully checks every word so it is perfect (he really believes this). We laugh about these e-mails, but he's entirely self-taught and trying to get better at his English and would laugh right along with us at his mistakes. His spoken English isn't bad, but he says things now and then that are hilarious and I spend a lot of time gently teaching him, and he helps me with Spanish (and his English is much better than my self-taught Spanish).
Uruk-Hai-Bill will meet him in about six weeks and can testify to what an awesome guy he is, and he would be super-good-natured about the teasing as we do it in person, too.The thing is every time we see him he claims his English is getting better and is so excited about it that we have to agree with him and compliment him. But I can never see any difference.
