Las Ninas

As we´ve mentioned when talking about San Pedro, people are quite friendly. Most friendly and most interested in us seem to be the little girls. Upon passing us in the street, they give us coquettish looks with downturned eyes and small shy smiles. Not so shy are the sweet girls who live on our street close to our family´s house. Soon after arriving, they waved our way, called out Buenos Dias, and the words they knew in english. Before we knew it, they scampered into the yard to ask us questions, hold our hands, suggest games we could play together. We obliged that evening and then every time thereafter that we left the house, the young girls would run up to us with hugs and kisses. This week, we´ve learned some of their games like La Ronda, which seems similar to Ring Around the Rosie and Campanita, which is like London Bridge is Falling Down. We taught them Duck Duck Goose (Pato Pato Gonzo in spanish) and some of Jen´s swing dance moves.
More to say but for now we´ll leave it with a few photos...
