41 years of married life - only to find out each year another reason I made such a great choice! Living together 24 hours a day gives you ample opportunity to drive each other crazy but we are both still somewhat sane! Unfortunately I have had stomach problems all day so celebrating has been out. Scott went to Spanish class and family home evening by himself at my insistence.
So as I am busily studying Spanish on the computer I hear someone yelling outside - now this isn't an unusual thing but it just went on and on. When I looked out the window a woman was chasing a man down the street waiving her arms and scarf. She chased him under the bus and taxi stop right under our window. You should have seen the people scatter!! There were two security men across the street so when they noticed what was going on the sauntered across the street and tried to pull the woman away. She is still screaming at the man who they have also taken back to the sidewalk. Meanwhile two men in shorts only come out of their apartments onto their balconies and are motioning that they know what happened but everyone is ignoring them. Meanwhile the security men are trying to get the woman to quit screaming but as soon as they let go of her she goes after the man again with renewed furor. Half of the people at the bus stop are ignoring what is going on and the other half are trying to figure out what is going on. Unfortunately, I have no idea what had happened! The security men finally got her calmed down a bit and took her and the man across the road. Don't know what happened first or what happened last but it was entertaining! What is incredible is how women run in the 4" heels they wear...
Last week we bought two 1/2 gallon bags filled with what we thought were cherries. I 'm including a picture! Scott tried one first and said it tasted like a cross between a cherry and an apple. We tried to give a bag away to the workers here but they wouldn't take it. That's when you know you must have made a big mistake. Of course when we asked the seller if they were cherries he just nodded his head "yes". They are the size of a cherry but look like a tiny apple with three big seeds.
One of our neighbors finally told us that they just use them for the juice - good luck with that!
I was able to get a picture of one of the moto taxis
You see up to four or five people on these if someone is holding little kids on each knee. They weave in and out of the traffic and run every light they come to so I would think there might be a safety issue but they don't seem concerned.

Then there are the guys selling flowers in the street on Mother's Day - at almost every traffic stop!
We are finally get some info back from the stake presidents so hopefully we can get the music directors together for some training. All of these very musically talented people come to our mission and we wonder just why we were the ones called to this position~ But we were and we are doing our best!
