Score!

Today, this chap I was talking to at a volleyball, and also bought insurance from, came by the school today and dropped off this:
Free Lens

He said "Please enjoy your hobby!" I was so amazed that'd he just come by and drop that off. Its old and not autofocus but beggers can't be choosers. And some awkward conversation in half english one quarter japanese and one quarter uncomfortable silence he told me to "enjoy" and went on his way! Such kindness! This is the second time someone in this town has given me something for nothing! When my bike was stolen, the local bike shop owner gave me a bike. Just like that.

When we visited Cozumel Peggy asked a lady (she spoke no English and we spoke no Spanish) where she had bought her hair clip. She gave it to her and wouldn't accept any money. I hope i can remember those moments and forget the rude ones.
Miss ya!
