Kids, kids and more kids
10 August 2008 | Mariguitar, Golfo de Cariaco
We anchored close to shore where it wasn't quite so deep and the beach was full of kids jumping off the dock and swimming. Well most of them, probably close to 25, decided to swim out to our boat. We cheered them on and had a great time. When I pulled out my camera they all wanted to pose, saying "cheese" and "whiskey" when they smiled. Well they know at least 2 English words. They swam out to our boat several times that afternoon, enjoying the attention. Just to be on the safe side we moved away from shore for the night and left the next day.
A couple of men stopped us on shore to inquire about El Shaddai. They are Christians and recognized the name. That always gets a lively conversation ignited with smiles and handshakes. We truly are a worldwide family of believers and we have an instant connection with people we meet who share our faith.
