Only For Our Eyes

This has been an interesting week in the sense that my outside activity has dwindles to almost nothing. Viena has been put on neighborhood arrest. Finally after a week, she shows no signs of afternoon lethargy. I have bee spending more time around the wired connection trying to learn Spanish, update friends and plan the remainder of our trip. Over 200 days. Over 2/3 Almost. Since we could not be gone exactly a year with the ticket. You must use the ticket in a year – 365 days from the date of purchase – so we have until Feb 23rd. Amazing, we were able to make this leap of faith around the world. Say, what did we do on Day 202. We went to a small playground near a church. . Then we went and even she did not want any part of China today. We sat in the library and read Spanish books. One other little boy was there but we usually have the Children’s Library to ourselves. Outside in the plaza area had big air-bags floating around – like double the size of a king sized mattress bag – for the poetry slam. Ezra and Viena loved the playfulness of the big bags being blown by the breeze in the boundaries of the plaza. Ezra complained that all the poetry slammer spoke too loud. I had to agree. They had to loud to talk over all the others. We stayed until night fell. Ezra and Viena were both entertained enough – and the almost full moon appeared. I tried to take the photos I wanted.
