A More Vivid Picture of Life Here

I feel like I haven´t done a good job of explaining what life is like here. This should.

1. If I wake up and I´m not sweating, it´s either WAY too early in the morning or it´s going to be a good day.
2. I don´t shower most days. I just let the humidity wash over me.
3. If I want something good to eat, I just follow the huge line of ants (luckily in our house we don´t have cockroaches).
4. The other afternoon Leah and I went to the market to get meat. As a worker was putting some meat in a bag for the lady in front of us, the worker dropped a piece on the ground. Without even blinking she bent over and picked it up and threw it in with the other meat. The lady buying the meat didn´t seem to notice at all. I mean, the floor had been mopped that morning, right? (I´ll attach some pictures so you can fully understand this story.)
5. I eat, on average, about five mangoes a day. (David´s sister Mima comes every week with bags full of them.)
6. Every Tuesday and Friday I get to play soccer. We play on a basketball court at night. It´s the coolest then (about 85 degrees) and the court has stadium lights. I usually come home with a shirt that´s three shades darker but it´s so worth it.
7. There´s been one day where I´ve peed more than twice. That might be TMI. Sorry.
8. It is standard here to greet people with a kiss on the cheek.
9. I love going to the grocery store. AC baby.
10. On Tuesday I tried their version of corn on the cob. It´s an ear of corn smothered in some mayonaise like spread and coated with salt and chile. It was alright...
11. It´s not difficult to figure out the favorite flavor around here...it seems like EVERY kind of candy is chile flavored. Bla.

It seems odd to end on eleven but I can´t think of anything else right now. I´m sure I will think of more.

Be blessed!
