Mickel and Jose and I were the only workers in the production plant today. Rey-nods and Henry went to pick up fish. They left at 5:00 am and won't be back until late afternoon. I cut 7 kg of corvina for ceviche and then we cleaned up. Early day for me. As I was headed home, I stopped and did a little window shopping. Every day on my way to and from work, I see a security guard, who guards the gate at a condiminum near my house. Yesterday I waved at him, and he waved back. This morning, we waved and this afternoon we waved. I bet he has never had anyone wave at him before. I am always shocked to see Polica (Police) carrying sawed off shotguns over their shoulders. They are everywhere. Grocery stores, gated communities, parking lots, Walmart (I have only seen them from a far at Walmart. Demian told me if I dare step foot in Walmart, he will fire me and ship me back home on a boat). Evidently, Walmart is a sore subject here! Spent this afternoon and evening catching up on my blog and tonight is my last night to study for my test tomorrow. Ugg.
