A day at the park

I am realizing that my knuckles hurt much more when I type. Looking back over 2015, I have 188 blog entries! That comes out to one entry every 2 days. I love that I am being consistent but, for the sake of my knuckles, I am going to have to cut back.

Yesterday evening I went to our weekly intercession. Suddenly we heard crazy noises outside. The streets were full of police and people marching with torches. They were chanting that they want the president taken out of office. It shut down the street for a while so we couldn't leave. It was a peaceful protest, but I felt better watching from up on the third floor.

My boss gave me the day off yesterday since everyone else was on vacation. I picked up Ana and her family and we went to a new park by my house. It's so nice! There are military men at the gate who check what you are bringing in. Then there are a bunch of people in special vests who are stationed around the park to be sure the kids are safe.

Normally the park is so packed that it's not safe. But yesterday we had a few hours when there was only one other family around. It was a fun day for everyone. Even Samuel, who is recovering from chicken pox.
