treasures

i was so looking forward to coming home and having a hot bath, with bubbles, just laying in it til the water got cold. i'm so used to washing dishes the costa rican way in cold water i'm going to bring their dish soap home with me.

i think of the big house i had, all the clothes i had, all the things i had. they are worth nothing as i am reminded of the people living underground in cr. i wonder what kind of living conditions i will encounter on the frontera. people that don't have water period, never mind hot water.

like the bible says about treasures. i had a house, robbers broke in and stole things.

last week i bought a bag of platano chips for some little girl on the bus. omg what a humungous smile. now that's a treasure.
