La tecnica de gato montes

Two down, one to go. I got through the community activities. They went pretty well although I had to scale back pretty massively for multiple logistical reasons. The kids really liked them though and keep asking me when we are going to do them again. I am working on that....

Yesterday and last night I hosted a group of 9 trainees in my barrio. It went pretty well. I hung out last night with a friend of mine that has been organizing the dance classes. We went out with her son and nephew and caught crabs on the beach. It was so fun. I didn't actually catch any, I mostly ran around screaming and laughing. I did witness her son perform a very interesting technique for catching a crab that involves springing on it like a cat. I laughed so hard my face hurt.

This weekend I am taking, hopefully, four teenagers to a camp near San Jose. I am still struggling to get the kids to confirm they can go but I am hoping that it will all work out in the end. Vamos a ver.

I got a little giggle thinking of someone "springing like a cat" on a crab. But mostly, thinking of you "laughing until your face hurt" made me laugh too.
Sounds fun!

Yup... only not the kind you gotta tell the nurse about. :)

I got a little giggle myself about springing on the crab, because just recently I witnessed your Aunt Dee Dee springing on crabs on the beach in Cabo with a plastic cup and trying to dig them out of the sand as fast as they were trying to bury themselves. Love Ya mucho!!!!
