Day 2, Saturday


Saturday was warm and sunny. I played with the children outside on playground. I got to meet the new children that have arrived since last visit. Rudy, Brayan, Fitto, Pamela and Daniella. They are all sweet and lovable. Marvin likes to do tricks with a circle of string, cant remember what is is called but remember doing some of this as a kid. He kept trying to teach me one and he would not let up until I learned it. It was cute as he would say "no, no, no,, diga me..." or watch me. I was ready to give up but he was a tireless teacher. When I finally mastered it he had me practice several times before he would go do something else . Maryjuri is who I see the most change in, she is a little girl now and talks all the time. Her and Katty are so funny. I honestly do not know how Karen and Dorian do what they do! In about 30 minutes of having at least 2-3 children actively wanting something from you at any given time, I was tired. I tried to blame it on jet lag but I think both my mind and body are out of shape! Food is good, I love rice and beans and who would ever think that boiled chicken would taste so good! Diet is mostly rice, beans, eggs, chicken and a squash like veggie. I got to try some tea made from a flower here called Jamaica and it was interesting. I drank mine cold and Joyce drank her hot. It is supposed to be curative for all sorts of health problems,,,,,I think it does this by cleansing your system.....Cindi went with me to the Popouri or local store to buy some Diet Pepsi as I was having headache from lack of caffeine.....They do not carry "light" which is what they call diet here, so I had to go with sugar and caffeine, but it helped me make it through the day. I am attempting to post pics of Marvin and me playing and another of me at end of day watching move with children right before bed....I think the pic shows my functioning level pretty good for Saturday night....
