Cheers to Hillbilly!
I hate to repeat things that have been posted on this site but I want to share something that I can never get tired of reading.
1 Word, 3 Syllables: Hillbilly
As everyone knows, Hillbilly is the go-to-guy on this website. He is quick to answer questions, quick to give his opinion and most importantly quick to help us all out with anything we need. He is a wealth of information and is quick to share. He is "the man". Throughout the years, I've read his postings, I've asked a few questions and he is always there. I already knew how great he is, we all do. But I had the honor (it truly was) to meet him in Santiago.
I couldn't stay in Santiago knowing that "El Profesor", "the man" was living just a few miles away from where I was. I emailed him and asked perhaps if we could meet. He agreed(for some crazy reason) and invited me to lunch at his "hovel" as he calls it.
I usually don't meet men that I talk to via the internet(ha ha ha), but he was a DR1 guy, he was nice and he was Hillbilly! So how can I not meet him, this shy girl was not shy about that. So the same day I arrive to Santiago, I call him to see if he was still up for lunch, which he was and told me to meet him at his place @ 12pm....I get there and I ask a lovely lady(office administrator) for el Senor Luis. To my surprise, there comes out a dashing, handsome, younger man. Now, in no way I am saying that Hillbilly isn't that, it's just that I was expecting someone a tad bit older. So this lovely lady sees the perplexed look on my face and realizes that it was not the younger Hillbilly but the Senior one that I was looking for. So, it turns out to be two of them (Jr. and Senior) to which Jr. takes me to the house where I was greeted by El Profesor.
There he was, the man in the flesh.
Just like I expected, very inviting, very gracious and very accommodating. He introduced me to his 2 handsome sons, his lovely wife, some friends and quite possibly the cutest Chihuahua ever. So we chatted a bit, I asked a few questions about how he, this gringo ended up in Santiago and he basically said Love brought him there. Awe! A romantic as well! (ha ha ha). Then ate some lunch which was amazing (someday I will be able to make Locrio like that)! The man was truly exceptional and just plain smart. So my 1+ hrs with him came to an end which was unfortunate because I'm sure he has a million stories to tell. We parted ways but not before he invited me for another visited when I am back in the city later this year.
I hate to sound corny and cheesy but this world should have more Hillbillys....just a genuine nice man!
So Hillbilly, I am your number No. 1 fan! You truly are a kind & caring person which quite honestly is hard to find these days.
Will you adopt me? Anyway, Thanks to you and your family for your hospitality and thanks for opening the doors of your warm home to me.
respectfully,
-Carol
