I was in-between going into the Army, which would bring me to Augsburg, Germany, and then on to Vietnam, and leaving San Francisco, where I had lived for a year, and practiced karate with the famous Gosei Yamaguchi, and worked for the famous cloth designing company, Lilli Ann. Thus, leaving San Francisco Mark Gonzalez Chile Jersey , I had went down to Southern California to meet with my brother, he and I then ventured down to Mexico for a day where I bought a bottle of tequila, with the worm in it. This would prove to be an adventure in itself, with an unforgettable night, linger in the future; notwithstanding, I will leave out the trouble that took place in Mexico, and be thankful we got out in one piece, and with my bottle of Tequila: and leave it at that, but let me add, the beer was heavy Marcelo Diaz Chile Jersey , and we almost got in a fight with several Mexican Soma -type looking wrestlers. In any event, we did make it out alive, as you are reading this, and therefore I must have.
And then on to [bask to that is] St. Paul, Minnesota our home city and state; --my brother, myself, his wife and two-kids went by car, and yes I carried my bottle of Tequila, all the way. I had never drunk the stuff before, and figured I聮d save it for a special occasion Jose Pedro Fuenzalida Chile Jersey , hoping it would come soon. Plus, it would be a new experience for me when I did drink it, that is to say, showing everyone that damn famous worm, everyone talks about. When you moved the bottle of Tequila about聳you could actually see the worm floating every which way.
We spent a day in Salt Lake City, Utah, as we had found a cheap, small motel close to the inner city; my brother聮s wife got chased back to the motel for being out past 10:00 PM without her husband, as she was trying to buy some groceries.
I think we had a good laugh on that, that evening.
I didn聮t see much of the city Johnny Herrera Chile Jersey , although I did look for a few bars, I guess everything was either underground, or they had some secret black market where they hid the booze, but there was no chance for a nice cold beer, I figured that out quick. In any case, the night came quick, and we all slept well; the morning came quick also.
We took turns聴that is, my brother and I took turns driving his car over the long dusty roads, but the weather was pleasing, a bit warm yet it made driving comfortable.
When we arrived in St. Paul Jean Beausejour Chile Jersey , it was but a few weeks before my brother decided to head on up to North Dakota, Grand Forks, to help put in a cement platform, for a garage in, helping out his father-in-law. I told him I聮d go along and help if he didn聮t mind, and it all seemed quite productive, for the most part. And when the day arrived to leave?--yes again, I carried my bottle of Tequila all the way to the Dakota聮s with me: almost as if it was a gift from the god聮s.

As we arrived in Grand Forks, we all stayed at my brother聮s father-in-law聮s house, the very house we were to do the construction work at Gonzalo Jara Chile Jersey , in the back yard. The hot weather was starting to leave the Midwest, and the cooler air was coming down from Canada, as September crept in slowly. It was a good time to work the construction part, that is, without sweating to death. The Midwest was extremes, hot in the summer and cold in the winter. In fall, it was perfect, especially for construction.
As I got to meet the rest of my sister-in-law聮s family, I think I must have been saving this bottle of Tequila for this occasion, for I had a sense it was not going to make it back home. I had hid the bottle in my brother聮s car Gary Medel Chile Jersey , and drank beer the first night I was there with the rest of the relatives. His wife had several bothers and we all sat around getting drunk, --talking about how we were going to go about building the wooden frame of the foundation, to pour the cement for the garage: that is, the ground work was already done, leveled and the wooden frame needed to be made, this could be done quickly in the morning with long two-by-four boards, thereafter, we聮d do the cement work, and then we聮d stay an extra day and have a get together, kind of celebration. It all sounded grand.
During this time I had met Paula Francisco Silva Chile Jersey , a friend of the family. I was twenty years old, and she was seventeen, we both seemed somewhat attracted to one another聴time would tell.

As we worked all day the following day on the cement, digging a foundation, putting up sides-boards to pour the cement, and measuring, along with putting in other sources of support like, stones etc., we finally did pour the cement, and it turned out better than what I had hoped for. We really did not need professionals Fabian Orellana Chile Jersey , only a good thought out plan, effort, and a gathering of the willing.
Now it was party time. Paula told me to skip the get together with the family at my brother聮s wife聮s house, for the time being, and head on to her friend聮s house, and join their party this evening, and we聮d come back to join the family workers later, for they also would be having a party. It all sounded reasonable to me.
