Hi LeeAnne,
Hang in there...the darkest hour is before dawn.
However, if you feel comfortable, I would ask the interviewer to share what tipped the scales into the other candidate's side...was it a skill? was it some experience? was it specialized knowledge? It is good to know, because that way to you can address it and add it to your skillset. If you got along very well with the interviewer, chances he will be happy to give you the feedback.
Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends ~~M. Angelou~~
