Was it something I said?

Well, it's official. Jessie and Stacey have decisively peaced out. They came back this morning while I was at work. Mike was just getting up when they arrive and he said they were in quite the hurry. He said they looked afraid he would hurt them or something. They packed up their stuff and uttered scarcely a word. They told him they were going back to the United States, but I don't know how much we can trust what they say. Somehow, I don't think they were cut out for Santa Cruz del Quiche. Suffice to say each of them had like four pairs of sandals.
