A post was made regarding the "chances" of running
into hostile illegals while hiking in Section A.
Because of this possibility, I have taken
the time to translate a few key phrases which will diffuse
most situations with foreigners of the latin descent which
you may run into.
While it is a humanitarian decision for each individual to=20
make when confronted with a plea for water, here's what I would say:
Phrase I:
I'm sorry, I have only a little food and water for myself.
Lo sento pero solo tengo poca comida y agua para mi.
A friendly greeting goes along way in the face of the unknown.
Phrase II:
Welcome to the USA and enjoy your hike.
Bienvenido a los Estados Unidos. Disfruten su caminata.
Sometimes additional discussion will be needed:
Phrase III:
I am on a non-political journey, and do not want any trouble.
Este no es un viaje politico, y no quiero problemas.
That's all you need.
