The other day, an American lady who works with Grupo Fenix was staying at the Suni building overnight, so Jim and I talked to her for a while about different things, one of those being Don Juan. Apparently she stayed with Don Juan some time in the past, and had plenty to say. Apparently, Don Juan is an actual "Don Juan". He has been married several times to several different women, and has had an incredible number of children (he may or may not have sired a good portion of the inhabitants of our street?). I believe that the younger woman who lives in our house (she must be between 20 and 30) is his current wife, and the the baby girl is their daughter. Apparently, Don Juan was once married to a woman, and her daughter... at the same time. I wish I spoke enough spanish to congratulate him on his epic performance.
This really is all I know about the family we live with. As I said before, we are treated more as tenants than part of the family, although we try to talk to them as much as possible. We are also gone a good portion of the time for work, and then in the evenings to avoid going to bed at 7.
On another note, I just rescued a bat from the refrigerator, here in the Suni kitchen. Jim was opening the door to get some water, when into the room flies a little bat, who lands in the fridge, and huddles against a bottle to hide from him. Unwilling to touch the little bugger due to his fear of rabies, Jim served the function of cameraman as I grabbed a piece of cloth, and scooped the little guy out of the door tray. Interestingly enough, he didnt seem to mind being picked up (it was probably a tad chilly in the fridge) and scampered off when i set it down outside. Five minutes later, he swept back into the kitchen, ran around on the floor for a minute, and then flew off into the tree.
Bats are cool! Ants are not.

ReplyDeleteI am glad you're having some fun and enjoying yourself. While you're there, maybe you can picture Lori's face when people want her to try fish and respond "No, I don't want to eat raw fish in Central America." Please go to the hospital if you get bitten by the next bat you save. Anyway, have a Nicaraguan brewski for me (one). We are enjoying your blog and we follow Jim's too.
