Blending In

Back in town again today. We were supposed to go to Don Candido's today, but they had to take care of some "real estate" issues. I'm not exactly sure what they are doing or when we're going back. Whenever they give us the call. The weather has been pretty good. Its been raining, hooray! It keeps the temperature a little lower but more bugs to bite me. Last night after dinner we went down to the beach to catch the end of the storm. The lightening and thunder was incredible. It lights up the entire sky, the beach faces East, and there are no mountains, just ocean. I wish I could transport pictures in my mind for all to see.

Soup kitchen on Saturday was wonderful. Maria and her children run soup kitchen on Saturdays to pay for their weekly grocery bag. They are a well oiled machine that group. After soup service ended, I went out to play with some children. Someone came down and brought a HUGE donation of kids stuff, clothes, underware, books, paper, and bubbles. We brought the bubbles out. Barry has said a few times and I believe its true, that at the heart of all the BriBri children, they are like any other child you've met. They love to laugh and play. However, there is something very different about them, then a "western" child. They will play for hours with a simple stick. Bubbles were even better. We ran in the street, seeing who could blow the biggest bubble and keep it on their wand. The little babies, would run and try and catch the bubbles. The only lame part - I forgot my camera. I won't do that again.

No plans for this week. Soup kitchen tomorrow, and possible Don Candido's sometime this week. The mosquitos have taken a liking to my legs, and feet. I think we've decided that I have about 100+ bites, some old some new. Some are itchy, some arent. So I'm off to the Farmacia for some dental floss and possibly new mosquito repellent. The OFF with Deet, is not working.
