Math is not my best subject but even I know that 25 people are not in this picture. I took this picture after we were done with water arobics and so most of the participants have already left. Nadine and I take turns driving across town around 9:30 am on Monday, Wed, and Friday and by 11:30 we are home, ready to make plans for the rest of the day. Monday afternoons I also do yoga, which I am coming to really enjoy. Today we went to watch the last parade of the carnaval. We waited 2 hours, from 5:00 to 7:00pm for the parade to begin and by the time it got underway we were too hungry and cold to stay very long. It was wonderful to be standing alongside Mexican families and share one of the highlights of their Carnaval. Right beside us was a couple with their three young children. The Mom worked so hard to communicate with us and have us meet her children. Her husband was in a wheelchair and you could tell that they were more financially challenged them some. This woman went to get her family a few hotdogs and chips and when she returned offered to share her limited food with us. We were very moved by her generous spirit and when we left felt that we had made new friends. This Mother inspired me and made me aware of some of the richness we experience while we are far away from home.
