No News is Good News??

Unfortunately, in our case no news is not good news. Jennifer decided there would be no updates here until we receive our own update indicating we are back in the PGN. I made no such declarations, so it's daddy time!! We hope to hear today or tomorrow whether we are back in. Everyone send good thoughts! No one wants to be here when 2015 rolls around.

So, it has been difficult, but I am managing to adjust to this warm climate. I will periodically sweat and the sun often times makes me feel hot. I have found that drinking a Guatemalan tonic called Gallo will help curb these hot flashes however. Max was scared of me when I first arrived, but that is understanable. Many people get frightened when they see me coming. It wasn't long before being thrown around by papi was pretty cool though. He also appreciated someone finally filling up the swimming pool so he could also cool off. I already have him doing laps. He is up to 8. I will be shaving his eyebrows this week so he can hopefully gain speed.

Finally, I got a little taste of Chicago as I wandered through the market the other day. I encountered a man in a wheelchair, who I gave some money to, who unfortunately had no legs. He was wearing an Anthony Thomas Chicago Bears jersey. I felt bad when I thought about the millions of dollars that Anthony Thomas received when he was a Bear, and he could run about as well as the gentleman I encountered and he has very little. I may try contacting Thomas.

Everyone is missed. Enjoy the pics. There are a few of a recent Easter processional also.

Mark, Jen and MAX
