Another day in the life......

Hello friends, Christian here. So as you may have read earlier Cade and I went grocery shopping for some ingredients for the sangria. I hollered for a cab and when it came near.......you got the rest. But seriously, asked the man to take us to El Rey, and when he asked which one, I simply responeded, whichever is closest. So, as we drive a couple of blocks and then stop in front of the smallest El Rey I have ever seen, I realize it is in.....EL CHORRILLO! pum pum pummmm! I make a quick executive decision and decide that it will be safe enough if we just go into the store and walk straight out to the cab. The cabby says to us as we park, Cuando salgas, toma ese taxi, tengo confiancia en el. Which translates to, take that cab when you get out, it is trustworthy. So we shop around and as we walk out of El Rey, we see a bunch of commotion and a couple of cops at the front. We are not concerned with inquiring as to what is going on so we get in the first cab we see (not the trusted cab) and tell him to take us to Casa Arias. Before we leave we hear what had just transpired. A woman sitting in a chair next to her friends selling lottery tickets, decides to throw a bottle at a man. The man then pulls out a knife and pushes the woman over, braking the chair.....just another day in EL CHORRILLO! We get home, unscaved....that is a word right?

So the tape baseball/stickball game we played was awesome because it started out with just Chels and Allen and then turned into a real game with bases and little kids from the streets playing. We even had a cheerleader yelling through a street cone. Sweet. We played for a while and then a little kid hit a homer over the second story balcony of the adjacent building! GAME OVER! It was pretty, pretty, pretty good. Well we have been doing a lot of blogging and this is my first time to ever write my own personal blog sooooooooo y'all should hop two and write some more. Are there going to be any plants coming back with y'all? Did Meaghan get bitten by a spider? Has Marshall sang the song of the countries? Throw us a freakin bone here. Ok, I'm getting yelled at, so Peace Out!
