It's only been two days but already we are discovering the cultural ways of El Sauce. When you walk by someone, you say goodbye instead of hello.
"Adios," a small girl hollered and waved as she glided by from the front seat of a bicycle taxi. The woman selling fruit on the sidewalk smiled and said, "Adios."
We say "hola" only if we plan on stopping or staying a minute. if you're passing in the street, you say farewell.
"Its like stopping the conversation before it starts," says Kellan.
It is these little things that make you feel a part of the community.
