Venezuela meets California

My wife's niece, Freya, was the first in her family, other than her father, to visit us in Stockton. Freya had never left Venezuela before, and if it weren't for her newly acquired Spanish Passport, she would not have been able to come now. At age 26, Freya is just the sort of tourist the American State Department has pegged as likely to stay forever in wonderful California. Indeed, Freya quickly adapted to life here, finding a Mexican friend at the Adult School English class with whom she could pass the time. I took her on trips to Yosemite, San Francisco, Monterrey, and Santa Cruz during her two month stay. Life won't be the same for her back in Venezuela.
