I think your views are rather harsh, your standards too stringent and your judgments, while not unfounded, often colored by a point of view you are allowed to have due to the fact that you are a fair damsel and can present a picture , when chosen, to cause an oh god of the most haunting variety.

That having been said and despite the fact that you still have not “been around the block too often have not been eaten up and spit out or anything close” I don’t find your rambling ingenuous instead I find it often right on, but for me, dear cooper, somewhat cynical for one so young.

It doesn’t mean I don’t agree it means that I wish you could think of it differently.

Have a great time in Costa Rica.
