I celebrated St. Patrick's Day with my new conversation partner Mohammed tonight on Gaines Street. He and a few friends joined me at the recently opened Grasslands Brewery. First we walked around Railroad Square, and I introduced them to a rock climbing studio and several art studios in the area. We talked and walked toward the brewery and had a few beers. Mohammed is very shy and has only been in America for two months, but he would like to improve his English enough to get into law school in America. He and his friends were intrigued by Western culture, and they were flattered when I asked them about what life in Saudi Arabia was like. Mohammed is a big soccer fan, and we bonded over my trip to Spain this summer. He would also like to visit Spain one day. Next time I meet with Mohammed I think I am going to try to take him to a soccer game!
