The Nazarene school is getting a facelift, which includes stucco-ing the playground walls. It looked tedious as we watched last week, but notice the results behind the graduating Seniors as they practice for their ceremony in June. The subjects and the environment are all dressed up!
Washers and dryers in homes here are obsolete, so our neighbors take advantage of sunny to semi-sunny days to hang out their wash that they've washed by hand. Since we don't have a t.v. or a weatherman, we assume the sun will shine that day if everyone has their laundry exposed!
Last week, a friend from school invited a group to dinner in her home. The menu: breaded and fried tilapia, fried plaintains, cilantro/tomato salad and rice. We laughed and laughed for two hours in our broken languages and ended the evening with milk cake!
As we mentioned in an earlier post, relationships trump duties here, and this photo captures a school girl's visit with a relative as they wait for the key to open the gate to their home.
There is always something new to see and appreciate, even on ordinary days. Regardless of the culture in which we are born, life happens. And, we see new and different happenings when we go a different way. If we are quick enough (or slow enough!), we get to snap them up.
Keep Looking Up!
