She said her family was on the ride also but she was too afraid to go on the rides. As we talked, I learned that she was visiting from Kuwait and that she has a daughter that is starting school in Virginia, studying economics and business. I commented on her perfume, it smelled somewhat like Patchouli and she said that it was an Arabic perfume, although she sometimes likes French scents she preferred Arabic. After a couple of minutes she crouched down and started going through her purse. She stood up and handed me a small bottle of body lotion, telling me that I put it on after showering and that she hoped I enjoyed it. At that point, both of our families were running up so she reached out her hand to shake mine and said goodbye. If only the whole world could relate to each other in that way, there was no animosity, only two women sharing perfume and enjoying our families. I don't know if I will ever wear the lotion but I will never forget that brief moment.

Nice story. Often in nature though the female is a lot nastier than the male.
