RETROSPECTIVE
On April 14th, 2003 a very surprising thing took place within the realms of cyberspace: I met a girl who thought I "sparkled".
Very suprisingly she answered a "hello" note I had sent her and we had a chance to chat through a medium she apparently did not know well (but that she mastered very soon).
Mari-Ann revealed herself as an English teacher of elementary school kids taking the British syllabus while stationed in the Russian island of Sakhalin. A fan of everything medical, she said she had taken a paramedics course (or something like that.. haha) and that she was a full time explorer.
A spark had been cast and this initial contact extended through intense emailing during her stay in Sakhalin and during a trip to St. Petersburg during her springbreak. In the midst of a good share of misunderstandings, it soon became apparent that as she said that I "sparkled" the one who was really unfolding her own feminine sparkling nature was my sweetheart Mari-Ann.
Things continued to progress, and after an inspiring talk with fellow teacher and friend Jan (who I have to thank even though I don't even know her last name), Mar decided to come to Mexico to see the sights (and secretly see what kind of wild animal I am... haha).
On July 19th, 2003, Mari-Ann arrived to Mexico and we finally met at the Mexico City International Airport.
To be continued...
