Last night Theodoro offered to take us to a secret fishing hole were there are “hurricanes” of fish. First, let me mention my experience buying fabric today. I decided to get 3 yards of fabric from a fabricaria. There is a funny old man who is the owner. As I was paying I noticed a book that read in Spanish, “The 27 fundamental beliefs of the Seventh Day Adventist Church.” I quickly asked if he was SDA and asked him if he watched 3ABN. I regretfully confess that the first thing that popped into my mind was that their might be a chance to score a sweet deal on fabric. We talked for a while, I explained that Danny Shelton was the cousin of my girlfriend and after all said and done, he ended up knocking off a quetzal. As for the fishing excursion, t’wus another skunk. Theodoro took us to some old and abandoned yachts and we fished off of those. Thus concludes my last Monday in Guatemala. The word of the day is “en absolute.” This means “at all.”
