Carol had to go up to the university to teach some piano lessons and Boyd went to work on the hotel so we were left home alone. Carol told us that as long as it is daytime we are safe to walk around the neighborhood. So Kirsten and I decided to play soccer outside with some little neighbor boys. They are between 7 and 12 years old. We brought along a soccer ball to play with them because they don't really have a good one, the one that they have is made out of plastic bags. An older boy came up and started playing us. He was trying to talk to me but he didn't know any English. After a while he started getting really close and touching my arm. I was feeling very uncomfortable. Kirsten and I decided that we probably were not safe after all so we wanted to go inside. The house we are staying in has a 8 foot wall around it and like a thousand locks to keep us safe.We tried to unlock the gate but there was a dead bolt that we couldn't figure out how to open. We kept trying and trying. Finally one of the neighbor boys got over the gate and opened it from the inside for us. Now we are safely locked inside the house with nothing to do.
The maid came today. Her name is Tina. She is a hard worker and does Carol and Boyd's laundry as well as the floors. If you are able to afford one you should hire a maid or someone to work for you because there are so many people here without jobs.
Nice to know the 8 foot wall with tons of locks can be climbed over by a neighborhood kid.
ReplyDeleteIt can only be climbed from inside our neighbor's yard. Our shared wall doesn't have any spikes on it, but the rest of them do. I trust our neighbors though.
