It’s Friday morning and time to go back to Remedios. We got to ride in a truck that has been retrofitted with seats. This is a common way of transportation in Cuba and I’ve always been curious how it is to ride in it.
It’s relatively early in the morning, there’s a nice breeze and it’s not too hot yet, so we are in luck.
We’ve survived the mosquitoes, the bathroom shortage, and the girls who stayed up giggling until almost midnight.
We’d been well fed by Yudith, el Chino, Carmen, Raul, and the small rotating crew of kids from camp. Everyday delicious food miraculously appeared before us. Breakfast, snack, lunch, Cuban coffee, dinner and bedtime snack.
No wonder the kids had so much energy!
We had fun. Rain poured down, lighting struck nearby, power went out, and yes, mosquitos feasted on us. But, we feasted on God’s love. We got to meet 50+ kids and their leaders who are intelligent, creative, passionate and loving. Everyday we saw God’s love and compassion reflected in all the people there.
Couldn’t ask for anything more.
