Soccer, Tiny banana, Donations, Driving and a little reading

 It was a simple day today at the orphanage.

There was some soccer played by 4 of us in the courtyard (yes there is a volleyball net there, we just duck under it).

Also in the morning we were fortunate enough to have some bananas. These were the smallest bananas that I've ever seen.

Tony (18) and I went to pick up tortilla donations from 2 different businesses. These businesses give weekly (or more) to the children of Hogar de Amor (House of Love) Orphanage. You can see I'm weighted down by a backpack full of tortillas.

Here is another statue found at a roundabout. 

By the way, the stop sign you see in the picture is merely a suggestion. By NO MEANS does it mean to stop, unless you are about to get into an accident. That, perhaps, was the hardest thing to get use to in driving here. Mexican drivers are... let's see... I wouldn't say aggressive, I'd say they are "purposeful". They do not dilly dally around. They know where they are going and they go there. On the contrary, the American drivers are the problem here. We do very unexpected things, like stop at stop signs. It can really mess up the flow of traffic. Also they have roundabouts that are often 2, 3 or even 4 lanes around them. They have stop lights in the middle of them, so it can really, really get confusing!

This afternoon was lazy for me. I took a 2 1/2 hour nap, then finished the book I was reading. I never have time to read a fictional book at home, they are always of the self help, improve business or organization books and typically they would be audio books, cause who has time to just sit and read?

This book was about a 24 year old woman that decides to die, she is placed in a mental hospital and meets different people. I'm not sure that I would recommend it, but it did give me some perspective on mental illness, mental hospitals and being purposeful with life. You know me, always trying to get a "take-away" from a book. It's hard to just read for pleasure, but I'm trying.

Tomorrow will be super exciting. My friend and I will travel 1 hour south to a cave.

Stay tuned...
