July 4th - Lunch Crew

From left to right:

Ireland, Russia, Ukraine, Mexico, Russia, El Salvador, and me. The quiet before the storm. They are pretty wonderful people and it's a joy working with them - most of the time...

And so it goes.

    Looks like a good crew! Question, what are you doing there? The only Gringo in the bunch.

    That's the US of A, a bunch of immigrants who make the best of it.

    It's a pity you don't have an 'after' picture, everyone dead on their feet, but still with a smile on their faces.

    Rick, Ukraine = Sergei, 23, gay (here not a home, not allowed in his country)sweet and kind and the customers love him. None of the straight restaurants would hire him, then he found Dos Locos. He is fitting in well. He's still a little shy about out gay people, but Hell, I get more hugs from the straight guys than the gay ones. He's coming along nicely, though I don't know how he'll ever return to his country without going mad.

    Thanks for the visit.

    Yes Cajun, what's Mr. El Salvador doing to you? Hiding by a well placed menu... ;)

    Lem & Peter: I was wondering if anyone would notice the placement of Enrique's hand.
    It is very innocent, really (damn!) his hand is resting on the back of the chair in front of us.
    But, thanks for noticing...;-)
