A Day In the Cafes
Today was a very quiet day. We spent the morning exploring the city and relaxing in intent cafes narrowing down our options for getting to Venezuela. It was a nice change of pace and we enjoyed just taking it easy.
Over dinner a 7 year old boy came up to us and asked us if we had any spare change. We didn’t at the time but instead I gave him a pen we had bought in Mexico that was surrounded by colorful threads. He liked it and after I asked him his name, Carlos, I took the pen from him and wrote it on the palm of my hand, along with my own name Peter.
Immediately he was writing on his own hand trying to spell out his name. I gave him some paper to practice and wrote out both our names as an example and he diligently practiced writing until we left. You could tell he was another good kid in a tough situation.
