Amigos

We had a lovely last-for-now lunch with our friend, C.  After eating, we spent the afternoon playing kids' games: Spot It, Connect Four, Sequence and Rush Hour.  So much fun!

We also had a lot of interesting conversation, which has had me thinking ever since.  We spoke of how living life is so time-consuming in Colombia.  Our friends' opinion is that the conveniences here make life better, because one has more time to do whatever one desires.  My opinion is that working to live is a good use of time and that here, with so much "free time," trouble ensues.

We spoke of how all food is very finely chopped in Colombia and how, for example, when I serve a salad of ripped lettuce leaves, the thought, "What?  Do you think that I'm a rabbit?" crosses our Colombians' minds.  Hm... at first I felt badly for not properly mincing everything, but then I got over it.  However, if any Colombian parents visit again, I will take my time and chop!

We spoke of the terrible effects of MonDevilo on life and economy in Colombia.  Ugh!  It makes me never want to eat corn or soy again in life and to only plant seeds that I have saved myself.

I am really thankful for these friends.  God bless them!
