-Lost in the woods-
______________
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
-They all amuse me so-

 Wednesday, July 20
Tonight I had the most sweet, adorable, considerate visitor I may have ever encountered.
A young woman came in while she was vacationing here from Korea this evening, and she just blew me away. Normally I'm rather standoffish when it comes to tourists, I try not to put to much stock into them or their rude comments (or at least the really dumb ones). First off, she was so polite and enthusiastic when I welcomed her into the store, I liked her immediately. She seemed absolutely thrilled that I wanted to say hi to her, ask her how she was doing, offer her any help. When I showed her the anne section, she was in heaven. Just in awe of the fact that she had come all the way here from her home, and that there were shelves filled with her heroine. She looked at a video cover, gasped, and told me in very well practiced english how much I looked like the grown up anne on the cover. Me, I don't feel I bear a terribly great resemblance to Meagan Follows, but hey, I took the compliment, blushed and thanked her. Coworker #new comes over at this point to try to figure out why I'm smiling and talking to this young woman. She then turns to both of us and very honestly tells us we must be so happy and lucky to have the opportunity to work here, the happiest place on earth. I'm thinking she's just a little goo goo over the anne musical, but no, she means the Island as a whole. I so appreciate when visitors realize that we're more than anne, potatoes and cavendish. She was in love with the people here, from the people she met at stores, the farmers she saw driving past farms, to the crazy drunk guy playing guitar badly on the corner. She even enjoyed the tourists, as she explained that you could just walk down the street and there were asian people everywhere (it was a big anne night). After she left the store, I just took a second to note that all tourists aren't arrogant, evil, greedy and loud. Some of them like the Island just as much as I do.
