Jill is building friendships with the Mayan women selling their fruits and vegetables at the market. We continue to be amazed at the low price and incredible taste of fresh food. Jill also spends every morning doing laundry by hand in our outdoor wash tubs. She then hangs it on lines in the yard to dry until the afternoon rains start and we frantically move the lines to hang under the covered porch.
Camden just had one of the guys at school give him an entire suitcase full of Lego bricks. For those of you who know Camden, you realize this is the greatest thing anyone could have done for him! He is doing great in school and will probably be the first one of us to be fluent in Spanish.
Atira is also doing well at school. A couple weeks ago we were informed that she now has a "boyfriend". Since then, I have not slept. Even typing those last two sentences send me into a panic attack!
Cian knows Pana inside and out as he spends so much time walking the streets with Jill. He is a local celebrity. I think everyone in town knows who he is. He gives people greetings in Spanish and if he isn't sure what to say then he just makes up new Spanish words. You can see from the picture that he and his friends take their "hide & seek" very seriously.
This weekend as well as Monday and Tuesday is the conclusion of the 2 week long celebration of St Francis' feast day. The people of Pana definitely know how to appreciate their patron saint. We will take pictures at the fair during the next 2 days and post them soon.
Thanks for reading! Brian
