Brandy Back! ( Day 1)

Well, Brandy just got back from Costa Rica last night!

It was nice, as she went through all the things she did there - at least some of it. She no longer has her camera as it was stolen( she forgot it somewhere for a few minutes), but she still has the memory card from it - and her photos. I will post them when load them on the computer.

Today, Brandy let me sleep in until 8AM and I was able to take a shower - by myself! It was amazing! ;) She made breakfast as well - hash browns and eggs with Orange juice.

Spent a few hours at the park - it was fun. But Josiah still is adjusting to playings games like "tag" with other children. He doesn't like to be 'it'

We then went to a Supermercado Central on Lake Street. On the way there we ran into some Christian proselytizers. They gave Brandy a tract and attempted to give myself one. I understand Billy Graham and his crusade, and I do not buy their version of Christianity. They however felt it their duty to convert a Buddhist. They went through a list of reasons I should convert, including how it would upset God and my own punishment. I informed them that I respected their faith, but believed in reincarnation. They had no further comments. You cannot disprove a belief so radical to fundamentalists. ( yet 15% of U.S. Christians DO believe in reincarnation ) All this occurred while transferring at a bus stop.

Brandy knew the foods that she wanted such as: plantains, guanábana juice, jalapeños, lime, and an m&m cookie. We then took our goodies home and cooked up plaintains and made tostadas. It was fantastic! :)

Of course, I had to go to work - but my day had been made by hanging out with them both.

I am sure you are happy that Brandy is back. You two will have much to catch up on.

I hope I can see you and visit you soon.
