An assortment of topics

Today it is raining. I am happy to know that my shoes (unlike my late watch) are water-resistant.
We got a new kid at the malnutrition center today. He is skinny and mostly unhappy. I am excited to see/help him get better.
Three occasions today. It is Guatemalan Fathers Day, and in celebration, people shot off fireworks at 7:00 this morning. It is also Esperanza´s birthday. Extended family have been over all day celebrating for these two reasons. Also, today is the last day in Guatemala for Bryan. Bryan is another GCP volunteer. He lives in the same host house with me and has spent the past 40 days working at Casa Jackson. I think he is also having a little àdios party tonight.
I´ll leave you with an interesting fact about Antigua: Traffic lights are illegal here. The city wants to maintain that ¨really really old town¨ feeling, so no traffic lights allowed.
Goodbye, all, and happy belated Bloomsday.
