working

I just finished my first day of "work". Ok, it's not really a job. I get to volunteer at the bookstore for the next couple of weeks while someone is on vacation. But, still the same, I felt very officious as I sat behind the desk and encouraged people to come in and buy books. Fortunately I was able to bring in 500 pesos which is very good at this time of year. This no-one of course believing until they saw the records. Now I have been offered a full-time position! A-ha.

The benefit of working at the bookstore is great though. Not only do I have access to great books, which includes children's spanish books - just at my level. But, the bookstore is 100% donation back into the community. The money going to support the schools, clinics and individuals. So, in a way I too am giving a bit to the community. I'll be honest though, the best part about being at the bookstore is Johan. I think I am in love, whether it is his gold necklace, or the fact that he wears only his panties and socks through-out the day. He speaks no english yet, so my communication with him is strictly in Spanish...but we are on equal levels. And dancing with someone has never been so much fun. Ahh, my little Johan...see for yourselves...


Peace. Heidi
