Costa Rica versus Holland. Every television will have it on. My Dutch-Tico friends can't lose, but... ...for this small country the game is HUGE. For the people in Perez it's also a bit of personal pride. The goal keeper Navas is from here. Yo: I'm okay. Trying to stay vertical, awake and out of the sun. Still feeling weak. Ate my pinto (rice and black beans) con natilla (a sweet sour cream) with an enyucado (meat wrapped in casava) at my favorite place. Have downed coffee at the hotel. Just ate an avocado. So... I'm okay. I'm trying to edit a poem in Spanish. I'd ask at WDC but I'm not a member of any Spanish speaking/writing group here. time to go looking for one. I need alternative words, help with grammar. The sounds and rhythm of the language are less of a problem. Hope to have something for the Writer's group this evening... if they are meeting! The problem with a country that loves flexibility more than discipline is that it frequently disappoints those of us who need some discipline to encourage our own flexibility. My inner life is chaotic enough that I don't need exterior drama. Oh well. Tomorrow is another day. And there may be a big party. 51.453 |
