The People We Met Today 3/19/07

Itinerary from today: Lansing-Springfield-Hannibal.
Today we met a lot of people who didn't like us, or were weirded out by us.
1. Pasquale, The waiter. He kept trying to be funny and Julie scared him by saying "I will accept rice".
2. The window washer guy. He didn't like that we were so pale and insisted that we needed to tan.
3. The gas station attendant. He got angry at Andrea for not knowing how to get to I-72.
4. The people at the Mark Twain Cave gift shop. Julie scared them by getting angry when they wouldn't restart the tour because we missed it by 10 minutes.
5. The people at the Sawyer Creek area. The man introduced himself with a hearty "Can I help You?"
6. The man who ran at us when we were taking pictures with plastic deer. Another "Can I Help You?", followed by "This is Private Property". He had a walkie talkie and was saying things in number code.
7. The woman at the christian bookstore. The door was open, but it was closed.

People who were at least moderately friendly to us:
1. The hotel guy. He was friendly.
2. The woman at the sex shop. She was kind of creepy, but nice and trying to be friendly while hawking her wares. We think she thought we were a gaggle of lesbians.
3. Our waitress at The Mark Twain Dinette. She tried really hard to be nice to us. She even tried to tell us about things to do.
4. The Antique shop woman. She worked at quincy college, and told us that if we want something that is open past 4 p m we should probably go to quincy. She gave us things, such as compliments.
5. The man in the hotel room next to us. He smiled at us. We figure that he's friendly because he isn't from Hannibal.
