The guy on the left is Sito. He's from Madrid, Spain and we met back in 2008 in Washington, D.C. where he was studying English. He's a great guy and we've traveled together before a number of times, both in the US and outside. I hadn't seen him in a few years, so it was great to catch up. The one on the right is Ian and he and I have also traveled quite a lot together. We go back all the way to our freshman year of college. He has a nice beard.
