Recreation

On Sunday, after Sunday School, some of us spent the afternoon at the pool, while others spent the afternoon in their air-conditioned room taking a nap and just relaxing. On the Friday before we returned home we went shopping at a few of the local market, the Mega Plaza and a wood market.

Jenni, 'let's see, it's 15 Limperia to 1 dollar, so tell me again how much this is going to cost me in American money?'

He either said, HOLT! WHO GOES THERE?  or HELLO, I'm not sure.
