DAY 205 SHOPPING MADRID CORTE INGLES PRINCESA

A Parade of Toys

Opens a Little Boys Mind

Possibilities


We walked to Corte Inglés in the morning – quite an experience. The store is kinda like a museum for the children – because we do not buy anything. Dwana was going to buy some items, but then I showed her how to save $50 and then she did not want to buy any of the items. I guess we all shop for different reasons. Regardless, we made it home. Dwana took Ezra and Viena to the playground and I started transferring files and baking up all the photos. I was going to go on a run, but my legs still were sore from yesterday. Then I called in to Alaska to have a teacher/parent conference for Mylon. He is fulfilling all the requirements but his teachers all said he could do more if he wanted. Oh well, I guess I feel the same way. They say he is behaving well and has a good attitude and is helping a 3rd grader out with math. I wonder the things that will make a difference. I spoke with Ira late into the night about all that is going on in his life. He has been one of the many people in our lives that has had life-changing events happen while we are travelling around the world. he sounded better. He sounded good, and he mentioned that he had processed lots of things. Glad to be able to talk to him, and I am glad I am where I am. I do not wish Mylon or anyone to walk down Ira’s path, but I will not be surprised. I see similarities in both of them. Late in the night, Dwana and I watched a live webcast of the Alaska Youth and Elder Conference. They spoke dormant-sleeping languages. I did not sleep well. I have not slept well the last couple of nights – no dreams, just restlessness. Spanish nights – no more.
