Hubby enjoyed himself very much in Mexico City. He and his security group provided security for the top 10 LPGA golfers at the tournament. He spent most of his time with golfer Natalie Gulbis, even accompanying her to the grocery store one night. He also helped occasionally with Paula Creamer (ranked #2 in the world) and Annika Sorenstrum (ranked #1, and won the $2 million purse). In his words:
"It was fun, and everyone treated us great, and since we were considered LPGA security, we were given as much of the 'royal treatment' as the players. I got to use a lot of my Spanish, which garnered quite a few compliments from the locals. Natalie Gulbis was really nice, and while we were at the store, she offered to buy food items for several of the volunteers and other persons helping. She bought us security guys a cake. She asked why I lived in Chile for two years (my standard answer for the question 'Where did you learn Spanish?') and I told her I'd served a mission for my church, and what church I belonged to."
The flights were uneventful - by some fluke, on every plane, Hubby had the row all to himself! That was the best! He was really glad to not have some fat person squeezing him out. Ha... he says, "Thanks for adding that, you nerd!"
To celebrate his homecoming tonight, we're having homemade burritos.
