This woman had an teeny adorable 3-year-old girl who loved to dance and could shake her booty in a...surprisingly adult way (always followed by an innocent gap-toothed grin). She also had a son who apparently had "a crush" on me (as 5-year-olds often do...I guess).

Both sisters were a few years younger than me with multiple children. This one was a widow. She moved quite seamlessly from telling me how safe Mompós is to telling me how her husband was gunned down...although she hastened to say it didn't happen in town. I didn't recognize the name of his place of death or understand why he'd been away...so, note to self: continue working on that Spanish.
