crocodiles and electric cars

Hi all, We have had some difficulty getting on the internet. The only way to do it is to go to an internet cafe-they don´t serve coffee. However, there are many of them. They moved the horse yesterday. If there is a vacant lot people with horses let the horse graze there. In the block next to ours, there was a grey horse grazing for several days. I was very pleased to discover my four legged friend a couple of blocks over today. He appeared quite happy to be chewing on new weeds.



Grandaddy and I have been riding bicycles all over town. He is doing fine with it--I am not. Finally, yesterday, I rented a golf cart and we can tour town. It takes about 15 minutes from one end of town to the other in a golf cart. We were walking down the road and saw a red car coming towards us. We moved over and as the car went by we noticed that the driver was a little boy of about 10 years old. He was alone and driving the car. We also see lots of motor bikes, not motorcycles, with entire families riding on them. Today, I saw one that had mom in the middle, an 8 to 10 year old on the back and a 6 or 7 year old steering. You see entire armies of children riding in the back of open pick up trucks.



We took our laundry to the lady today. They wash,dry, fold and package it for about $8.00 a week.



We rode a chicken bus finally. We took a bus to the next town over to explore and go swimming on their ocean. For the grand sum of $1.20 each we rode the local bus the 8 miles over. There actually were no chickens and there were seats. However, the doors were left open for air circulation and the isles were littered with coolers, blown up plastic crocodiles, children and a dog.
