This is David. On vacation here in New Mexico from Arkansas. He's been here staying with his aunt and uncle for the last 3 weeks. He loves the weather here as he told me it's too humid back in Arkansas. He's 17 years old and will be off to college soon with his super new laptop his aunt bought for him! He was very taken with the fact I was English and living here in USA. I asked him if he minded me taking his picture, and before I could explain he said 'sure". I explained the project too him and right away said, shall I get my sister, she'll be a stranger for you too! Isn't that sweet. How could I refuse :)
Thanks David and thank you for including your sister Jasmine.

This is Brian. Originally from California. Brian is a chemist but now just works as a consultant. He moved here to New Mexico 2 years ago, loves our New Mexico weather. At the moment he has his brothers son, 14 year old Riley here staying on vacation. Riley is from New York. I was attracted to Brian by his tattoo, very Celtic!. I asked him about the Celtic connection. His great great Grandmother was from Ireland and he is so proud of his Celtic 'roots' So me being a "Cornish Celt" was proud as well to see his tattoo. I dunno how he guessed I was English... maybe my accent gave me away again! :) He told me he has a daughter named Rebecca. I told him this is a wonderful name as my daughter is called Rebecca! We laughed over things strangers have in common. So nice finding common ground.
He was fascinated by the 100 strangers project and was pleased when I told him he was my Stranger #5
Thank you Brian and I hope one day you and Rebecca will make many memories together.
