More of Luke's pictures

Luke took this picture of a street vendor selling fruit and fruit juice. Although the tropical fruit looks very tasty, eating food from a street vendor is asking for tummy trouble later. These pictures are at Ayudame at Jonathans's presentation day fiesta. In the top one he is sitting on Nancy's lap she was one of his teachers at his special school. His teachers were very interested to know how special ed was done in the US and asked many questions of Kathy and me about what we did as teachers. They hoped that Colombia would start to mainstram it's children with special needs in future.
Interacting with all the children, they were all very sweet and mostly well behaved, some had too much sugar though.

We are enjoying the weather here and going on small adventures to keep busy. Yesterday we went to an area of the city were there was a whole bunch of shops that sold Christmas decorations. We were looking for decorations made in Colombia to remember our time here. the problem was that all the shops sold were imported stuff from China or Indonesia or the US. It was fun though watching some of the vendors constructing those reindeer lawn ornaments right on the sidewalk. Feliz Navidad rom Colombia, Dwight and the boys
