The daughter of our neighborsOur can of worms

10 de Agosto

We have completed our final Friday. I still can’t believe that we’ve been here for a entire 6 weeks. I’m pretty excited for this weekend. I plan on doing a lot of relaxing and fishing with my new pole. My plan is to head out at 5:00 a.m. and hit the lake hard all morning. It was a fun experience getting worms. I forgot to look for worms today and when it finally entered my mind again, it was well into night. I asked Magda at dinner time if she kew where I could find any and she suggested her neighbors’s backyard She went with us to ask permission to search the ground. Our neighbor is an older lady with 4 young children. Their house was washed into the lake during the hurricane 2 years ago. This lady was amazing. When she heard that we wanted worms she went right to digging in her compost pile, shoveling away the dirt with a machete. There were tons of worms. These worms were like none I’ve ever seen. They were stinken fast and wild. They demonstrated a new definition of squirm. These things could actually jump in the air as well. The older lady “Dona” was so cool. She scooped, squeezed, and picked those worms right up like nothing and put them in a cool jar for us to take tomorrow. It was a fun experience. “Gusano” is the word of the day. It means “worm” in Espanol.
