Why we need hammocks ...

The reasons we relax in our hammocks

Not that we NEED reasons (check out our deck) because a hammock is inviting without them. However, there ARE other reasons we need to have a little "hang time" and they include everyday life here ~

• Potholes and seemingly crazy drivers (who are probably just avoiding the potholes). There are NO SUCH THINGS as lanes, and we can't figure out why they've painted lines on the street. It's confusing for us law-abiding citizens!
• Everyone speaking a different language than us.
• Different money, making it necessary to carry a calculator to see if you think you're getting ripped off.
• Carbon paper, used cuz this country really isn't computerized. You can't lose a receipt lest you also lose your warranty.
• Illogical "logic" ... or maybe that is just a USA thing to be logical and efficient. It just could be that this Nica way is more fun and bonding.

And while we hang in the hammocks, we contemplate:

• The wonderful people here - who smile and wave - simply because they're nice enough to return a greeting (instead of doing a number of other things).
• Different ways to be effective here, and help people.
• Beautiful birds, fresh fruit and breezes.
• Friends and family like you - to keep our prayer life full.

Thanks for walking alongside of us.
