Long Lost Relative?

Hall and I met my second week here but as of yesterday I am convinced he is a long lost relative of mine.
I just clicked with him from the beginning. He is a grad student from KU and is really going places. He is proficient, if not fluent, in Italian because he studied there for a year and goes back often, and is now studying Spanish. He is a brilliant writer and deep thinker. He loves an intellectual discussion even though he gets frustrated with others lack of openness. I loved going to mass and Tuesday night social issues lectures with him. Happy hours with him were always fun and he's laid back. He barely noticed I "stood" him up on Tuesday. My watch broke and my phone wasn't working so I had no idea I was an hour late. Or I was on Guatemalan time, either way he was chill about it. He is the type of person I just love meeting while traveling. And look at these pics don't we just look like we could be related or at the very least have similar personalities?





This how both of us, unprompted, chose to pose ~smiles~during seperate times. One pic is at Kafka's and one is in Honduras while Hall wasn't around, so he had no idea about my "signature" pose, mouth partially open, smiling and hamming it up!
