The other night, I (Jan) was at a meeting when I received a phone call from Greg to not come home alone as there was a drunk naked woman outside our gate. The ladies in my meeting called our church to get someone to walk me home, but curiosity got the best of all the guys, so they all trooped over to the house to check out the situation. A truck pulls up with six guys who were ready to subdue said subject and a terrifying dog to assist if necessary. The woman had been dancing topless on the sidewalk in front of our house, but by the time the guys arrived she was clothed again. She told our pastor she had a mission, which appears to have been to marry a handsome American man. She even attempted to climb the gate and she nuzzled up to Greg as he spoke to his friends from the safety of our gate. Upon seeing me approaching the house, the scary wife that I am, she ran and hid in our neighbor's bushes. Sad situation in truth, as she lives on the streets and was abandoned by her husband, but definitely will provide much entertainment for all our nica friends as they ceaselessly rib Greg about his Nicaraguan admirer and her particular manner of attracting him.
For obvious reasons, there will be no posting of pictures of this event!
that sounds right. Any drunks that have become your best friends?

Hello to the 'handsome American Man' and family. It appears there is never a dull moment on the 'Mosquitoe Coast.' Nicely written piece. Perhaps that story will inspire a poem in 'The Long Shadows the Dunes Cast Part II.'
I appreciate all you guys are doing. May God continue to bless your efforts.
Love,
Steve and Family

Hi guys!
¡Si, David, tengo muchos amigos borrachos!
Mots! Thanks for visiting! I wish you could've been here because you would've told that story SO well. Who knows...perhaps it will be captured in a poem!
¡Adios!
