In a Facebook post, Taryn Thompson reports her close encounter with 2 English blokes at a local thrift store:
"I met a couple interesting blokes from England at the Hospice Thrift Store earlier today. One was trying on shoes and said in his English accent, "I can't very well rob a bank in flip flops." I asked the guy if he was really planning a heist and they kind of laughed it off. We started visiting and they told me they were on a road trip through America. Their favorite spots so far? One said Mount Rushmore and the other other said Little Bighorn. They told me one thing they really wanted to do because they heard it was so great is go to Hobby Lobby!?! They were excited when I told them there was a Hobby Lobby just 20 minutes west of here. When in America ... right?"
Question: When did you last meet foreigners enjoying our viewtiful slice of paradise?
