Talking to strangers

Ok, I know I´m on vacation. But I´m also trapped in paradise. Apparently 3 storms have all converged on Costa Rica. It has been pouring rain since yesterday afternoon. We are in Monteverde (a small mountain town) and the roads out of town are all closed due to mudslides, landslides, bridges collapsing etc. Despite this, we're having a blast. And as the above cartoon mentions, we are waiving the rule against talking to strangers due to being trapped. This morning we met an older couple from Israel. We chatted for a few minutes and pretty soon we were in their car driving all over town. This evening we told a young couple we were trying to get to our next destination 3 hours away and they invited us to drive down with them. Oh, and this afternoon we met some people while we were zip-lining and they are coming to get us in a half hour to go salsa dancing in town. Talking to strangers has never been so fun.
