I was watching a Rick Steve's travel video on TV and he mentioned that in Bulgaria they nod to mean 'No' and shake their head to say 'Yes' as explained in this video. The video goes on to explain the reason for this which goes back to a time when the residents were being persecuted for being Christians. So they developed this way so that when asked 'are you a Christian' and they would say 'No' but nod their head. Hope I got that right but hopefully you know what I mean.
Had you heard of this?
Another interesting thing I learned from Denise the other day is the reason Canada geese often stand on one leg. They are conserving heat. They will shift legs from time to time.

Uy no lo sabía. Siempre se aprende algo nuevo. Te mando un beso.
I read a book about so called body signs. I think that was title. A thumb up here is a positive sign. Or trying to hitch a ride. Well some place in middle east it means the opposite.
Coffee is on and stay safe
