Gabsus owns the tienda where we ate our lunch today. Four years ago after the loss of her five year old girl Gabsus began baking and selling bread saving enough money to open the tienda she has now. It's always been my favorite tienda on the island and conveniently located right across the basketball court. She sells everything from fabrics, threads, super glue, food items, beverages, flip flops and more. And she's very friendly and trying to learn English, though she did give David a lecture about not knowing enough Spanish considering we've been to this island numerous times over the past two years. David and Dan stayed after lunch to learn how to make bread, I hear the instructions went well.
While David was back in the village learning to make bread I returned to Bruadair and had three boys waiting for me. Aladio who visits us daily brought two of his friends today, Gediel Morales and Idonio Montero. I invited them aboard and gave them a tour of the boat, they were quite impressed and complemented saying we had a beautiful home. They enjoyed looking through various books but found the English to Spanish dictionary the most fascinating. Then they played with my camera and took quite a few photos of themselves, some pretty good. When David returned I had to tell the boys it was time to go, they promised to return tomorrow. David has a low tolerance for kids while I really enjoy them so I may have to keep the boys in their dugout tomorrow.
Yep, we bought more lobster today. As many times as we say we won't buy anymore it's hard to pass them up, today's was 15 for $3 and these were pretty good size ones. That price also included two crabs of about 1.5 pounds each. The gem was when a boat stopped by and offered us a four pound crab, the claws were as large as our hands! Not sure how we'll get that one in the pot but for $1 a pound we'll figure something out. As you guessed, we love seafood.
