Breakfast started as usual with avocado sandwiches and a papaya
smoothie. We moved quickly to our work site to start digging the
footings for the concrete slab, though this was hard work for some of
us, we (Jimmy and Roger) decided marbles would be much more fun. We
talked a lot with some of the neighborhood kids about school, music,
and los Estados Unidos. While Joe was temporarily incapacitated with
with a sickness that required the services of a plumber, we had some
raw fish with lemon sauce for an appetizer and some chicken (not feet
this time), rice, and potatoes. After lunch, we kicked back, and
worked occasionally, while more and more kids joined our game of
marbles.
Even though we were dead tired, we decided to play a pick-up
game of fùtbol (soccer) with some Peruvian kids at the park. Needless
to say, we got smoked. After a nice big dinner of a quarter of a
chicken each, we walked through down town, we all took part in the
purchase of souvenirs. Everyone had a good time down town, with the
exception of Roger, who got pooped on by a bird. Tonight might be an
early night, considering how tired everyone is after some long days of
travel and work.
Hasta Luego,
Jimmy and Roger
Jimmy,
Nice comments and pictures. Notice your comment about breakfast "as usual." Choices are something we well-off countries are into.
In Canada, I brought some dice. Each day, a few of use played a few games. It was fun. Much like your games of marbles...they don't require TV's and controllers. Multiple persons are a must.
Enjoy your time sans electronics. They are rare nowadays.
