How I met Alex and Héctor

I first met Alex and Héctor about three or four years ago. I was and I still am a friend of Luisa, a friend of theirs, and she invited me to go along with her to have some drinks at Bierwinkel, in Benimaclet. There were ten of us, more or less, and I casually sat in front of Alex. I had a quick good feeling about him and I tried to start a conversation as soon as possible but I really didn't know how to do it. But, suddenly, I had an inspiration. We both had ordered beer, each of us a different one, and the waiter had served them to us in completely different glasses. I'd finally found the perfect icebreaker:

-Hey -I told Alex pointing out the glasses-, why is yours long and narrow and mine is short and fat?

He gave me a strange look and eventually smiled a bit, although I think he didn't get the joke. 

That night I didn't talk to Héctor because he was bussy, but some time after we met again at a dinner. I remember that I felt extremely surprised because of his perfect good manners: before I realized that I needed a fork, he was giving me a fork; before I realized that I needed a napkin, he was giving me a napkin. Some dinners after his manners decreased a little bit in quantity but never in quality. 

Since then Alex, Héctor and me have done a lot of things together and I'm very proud of having such good friends. This post is specially for them.
