We spent the day Thursday cleaning the house and cooking, cooking, cooking.  You can guess who did the cooking.  Charlotte wanted to pick up a few items to send back with the brothers for little Charlotte and our girls so in the afternoon we went out to the Ataco shops for a little while.  We went on the car because of her foot and because I wanted to have the car cleaned and waxed again before the brothers came because it had gotten pretty bad inside and out since the last time. So I was going to drop her off after shopping and then go drop the car off and come back.  As we got out of the car at the corner near most of the street shops Charlotte said she did not want to look like a typical tourist.  I told her that was going to be pretty difficult.  We still did some bargaining because they always start high so there is room to feel like you made a good deal.  We found some scarfs for the girls and a really cute El Salvador dress for Charlotte, maybe those of you who go to Central will get to see it.  Then I dropped the car off. When I picked it up it sure looked great again- at least maybe for the weekend.  About 6 as we were skyping with Christina and Leanna (Leanna was spending the night with Christina) Brian and a friend of his (Cesar) dropped by.  So they got to skype with the girls some.  We sorta had to chase them off because we were going to see Carlos and Linda’s new house at 7.  We drove up there too because of Charlotte’s foot and because it was pretty much dark by then and even in Ataco we don’t get out on foot after dark much.  Their house was really nice and right beside another family who are members here and very close to where the church meets right now.  That means it is also really close to the Pentecostal church that is directly across from the Ataco church so he said they got all the entertaining music from the services.  We had a great visit but a short one since we, as well as Carlos, were leaving Friday morning to pick up the brothers.  We got back home at 8 and I went on to bed about 10, but Charlotte stayed up working on stuff till about 12:30.

Carlos, Linda, Carly and Brianna in their beautiful new home!

We are almost neighbors now!
