dinero and donkeys

Today Nere and I took her son, along with two other twin boys from the church/neighborhood, into downtown Tijuana to go the dentist (more about that in another post).  Afterwards we stopped for a breakfast of ham sandwiches.  After pulling out my money to pay, I somehow became distracted and the next thing I knew, Gioner was attempting to stuff our entire cash supply into his mouth...


This in turn made me laugh so hard that I wasn't focused on guarding the sandwiches, thus I was unable to prevent him also grabbing a chunk of bread and trying to add that to the mix...


Luckily, we were able to salvage the money so that we could pay for breakfast and catch the bus home later on!  We then passed the Jai Alai building, which is a famous landmark in Tijuana.  We thought we should take our pictures in front of it like the tourists do...




I should also note that Gioner's donkey toy contributes to the touristy look, because another popular photo opp here in Tijuana is to have your picture taken with the zonkeys (aka donkeys that are painted to look like zebras)!  And yes, I did just discover the word "zonkey" when looking for this link...

I love seeing your pictures and the things that you are doing, and seeing that laugh of yours...I only wish I were with you to hear it and laugh with you, too!
Love you.
