January 19
From Sue
On Saturday, we walked to the Indian market, which is the one we go to on the mission trip. Eric was all set to use his newly acquired Spanish and gave us a pep talk before we shopped about bargaining and we will come back another day so don't panic if you don't get what you want today, type thing. At one of the first "shops", I saw the perfect souvenirs for our nephews, Matt and Mitch. Much to Eric's chagrin, the sales lady was not in a bargaining mood prabably since whe heard me say, "I don't care, I just want those!" I may not say what "those" are because I want to surprise the boys. We did get them but poor Eric was not happy and drenched in sweat when we walked away! He did get Carolyn a good deal on gifts for her friends so all was not lost. It just gets to Eric that he has to pay the "gringo price". In the evening, we got to watch the "Indyanapolees Colts" on spanish ESPN. Go Colts!
We went to the beach after church on Sunday and it reminded me of the Jersey shore except not as nice. It was crowded and the beach is covered in rocks. It was very relaxing to sit and watch the sea, however.

Eric, I'm afraid you are a chip off the old blockess (MaMa), wanting to get the best price possible. The pictures are wonderful. Is there any way to isolate the picture of just you and Sue, so I can do a 4 x 6 for the montage Chris & Tracy gave us for Christmas?
ReplyDeleteRebekah, I was so happy to see you since we missed you on Sunday when we called. We will do that again and I want you to be first to talk, okay?
We love you all and we too are homesick for you, but we have to think of other things, right?
Love, MaMa & PaPa
