A Sign From Jehovah (?)

Completed our first run to the  Mercado  (open air market). Got 3 slices of fresh cut sundia  (watermelon)  and inner woes. Don't think they were necessarily related,  Josh and Lydia ate and didn't get,  Raquel didn't eat and got. May have been breakfast or what? Anyway cut our excursion short to find a baño and to escape the heat, the sun was intense this morning (still only in the 70's).  We did pick up tangerines,  avocados,  and a piña.

Finally found facial tissue so I could blow my nose properly.

Stopped at Sandra's, the high end US/Euro supermarket.  Got ham and cheddar, vino Blanco, and Jose Cuervo. (Rum is made in Guatemala so is the liquor of local preference, but I've grown a recent taste for tequila.) We then ate at Guajimbo's again  (3rd or 4th time) and had ano instructive conversation with the owner,  Jim or Jumbo.

During the conversation, Raquel repositioned our backpack of market goodies from the seat of the stroller to the handlebars alongside our Sandra's shopping bag.  Bad move. The whole contraption tipped backwards and came crashing down with the sound of glass on ceramic tile. Did we lose one or both precious bottles? I opened the shopping bag, unwrapped the newspaper from around the tequila, and it was Okay!  I unwrapped the wine, it was okay aLook! We thought for sure something had to have broken, but everything was fine.  Was this possibly a sign from Jehovah? This is the place for us? Or as more likely a freak non-accident in repudiation of Ecclesiastes 9:11.

We expect the real sign will be the coming weeks here in Panajachel and the coming months back home in Sheboygan.   Will we all continue to acclimate to this new life, and will things fall in place to make it permanent? Only time and Jehovah will tell.

Long-sought tissue, the miracle bottles, and two oranges and a lime from our yard.
Tequila.  Lime. Coincidence? I don't think so!
