Day to Day Life

These pictures are taken to give you a "picture" of a fairly typical Saturday when we are home. The first picture is of three of the four boys that I tutor arriving at the door at 8 AM. We are making hats to wear in a play that they will perform for their parents in two weeks.

The next picture is of the building guard, one of three, that sits at the entrance as you come and go.

We are headed to RT, a store something like WalMart to buy groceries. We first board the 202 bus to get there. Rog and Jane and the bus are in the photo.

We arrive at RT. Mike is hurrying on and then realizes that I've stopped to take a pictures.

We have what we call a "green market" about a 2 mile walk from here. When we got there many of the outside booths were taken down but I got a few pictures. Things are sold in bags and bunches and there are rows and rows of vegetables. In the back of the vegetables there are fish tanks and butchers with their meat hanging. We love to buy our eggs from this little lady and our vegetable lady lights up with a grin every time we walk in. We talk with our fingers and they tell us our totals with calculators but it is so much more interesting and fun than a regular grocery store.

One of the interesting things about China is the variety of places that you will find groups of people sitting or standing, in cold and heat playing cards. These men are in front of a bakery near the green market.

Was it foggy in the bus pictures? The boys look like they are working hard on those hats!

I used to communicate with George in the mercado across from our house in Mexico with fingers and his calculator:) He was always so nice.
