Strange girl. Chad and Aaron had pointed her out at the parade as a shy girl who'd sold them coconut candy.

The next morning as I was walking along the river, she and her little sister Amelia came barreling towards me--so fast that Amelia tripped. They clamored to know where my friends were (they'd left that morning), asked me if "we" should buy arepas to eat, wanted to sneak into the circus (at 9am?) and never let go of my hands. When I went back to visit the other sweet family, Angelica was clinging so hard they asked if she was mine--despite telling them previously I didn't have kids, i mean, could I produce one so large this quickly??

Odd. Still don't know what they wanted from me (again, gotta work on my Spanish!).
