Monterrico and Such

This weekend we rented a crappy little car and drove to Monterrico. The headlights were pointed up in such a way that everybody we passed though we were high beaming them so in turn, they did the same to us. We almost died various times. We had hoped to play with baby sea turtles, but now is not turtle season. Instead we played in the huge waves! The water was super warm! There were piglets of various sizes running all over the town! The different litters hung out together, as you can see from the picture. The smallest were as big as our feet! There were Kaiman at the turtle sanctuary in Monterrico and we followed a woman with a fish until she told us she was taking it home to cook instead of to feed the Kaiman. Last week we also went to Zuniel to watch the women weave and then we stopped at Dad's old yellow house from 6 years ago. Also in Zuniel we saw a Mayan ritual outside the house of San Simion, the smiling manequin into which they pour liquor and cigarettes in hopes that he will fulfill their prayers. The thing Dad is going to miss most is the Gallo.
