You know how if you leave food out uncovered at home it gets dried out, well here you leave things out to soften them up. Cake and brownies never get hard and stale - so Scott is happy! However other things mildew in a hurry. It has been and still is a hot summer here, so the residents say. It has felt hot to us ever since we got here. The humidity makes the air feel heavy - that's the best way I can describe it. Except for the garbage almost everywhere it is still very pretty here.
On our way to Hainamosa we saw some interesting things. I have never seen these trees before but they have many strange trees here that grow roots that climb up the trunk, trees that look like palm trees and about half way down the trunk of tree where there are no leaves, bunches of berries looking things grow. This one is a very pretty tree but looks weird when you get close. I don't know what those hanging things are but they look like some kind of a branch growing the wrong way because they all hang down.
Here street vendors are common but this is the woman with "something extra".:
That is the biggest variety of stuff we have seen here on one person. There are few women out on the streets but when there are they usually have their "goods" on their heads.
Notice the leading patterns on the board...Scott should have been a teacher he is so good at it!
Even when he doesn't know what he is talking about.
We had our normal three classes today. The music class is so frustrating for Katty because she is not a fast learner, and the two other young men are very gifted and had previous experience. We sent a keyboard home with her so hope that helps her. She is such a sweet girl, I just love her. Elder Hammon's class was an exercise in making up stories with groups of words. It actually was quite fun. The Spanish class that Scott teaches was sparse as everyone was at the temple today. Coming out we ran into a very white American couple - at least they looked very white in comparison to the other people in the lobby.( Blond and very fair skinned) They were from Utah and had come to a wedding of a friend of theirs. They love to come here and have brought their family and stayed for a year or so two different times. They are the Tanners from down by Price. He served a mission here 20 years ago and just loved it.
We decided to do something different so we went looking for a Chinese Restaurant. We found one on the GPS that we had been to before so knew where it was but had actually forgotten about it. So we went out for supper and just sat and watched all of the people come and go. It was a nice change of pace for us.
