"la clave" go with the flow

In global business, we are always talking about "going with the flow". Good advice to be sure especially when something major happens. Imagine sitting with your 'host family' having dessert when suddenly you discover you're at the wrong house! Now, before anyone says "that dippy professor", this was not my fault. It was the driver who picked me up from the airport.

The most comical part of this was that I just presented the family with the "world famous" Fannie May Pixies and Meltaways. When I thought I was going to have to leave I thought "now, what, I have nothing to give the other family".

As with most things, it all worked out and I am going to stay with my family. They are very attentive and keep me talking!

  1. OK, so I thought I was having crazy days and could not get to your blog-but OMG!! The wrong family?? I am still laughing, my friend!! Only you Lisa! I knew the Mexican people were friendly, but to have a complete stranger sitting at their dinner table and not make you feel uncomfortable? I love it!!
