Rotary Friendship Exchange - Rotary District 5960

I got tired and sat down behind the crowd on a chair that was setting outside one of the shops. I could see a couple kids looking at
me. What was probably their mother, came over and tried to ask me something. One of my team members that translated things for
me, told me that the kids said I looked like Santa Claus and their mother wanted to take a picture of them with me. I said sure and
they sat on my lap while mama took a picture with her camera and then with my camera. Another person took a picture of the
mother and me.
Santa? 2/6/12
On our way from the festival parade to our evening dinner engagement, we stopped at a park that had unusual lighting. At the entrance,
I noticed a couple kids that were eyeing the balloon vendor. It appeared they wanted a balloon but mom was not listening or
did not want to buy the balloons. William was with us and I asked him to talk to the lady to see if it would be all right if I bought
the kids a balloon. The balloons cost less than 1 USD each. William said it would be okay for me to do that, so I did. The smile on
the kid’s face was more than enough reward. The mom asked if she could take a picture of the kids with me. Next thing you know
we had a photo shoot going.
The monument was a memorial to military personnel that gave their life for their country. The overhead lighting was very unique
and pretty. The other 2 objects are actually the same objects. The color of the writing changed every few seconds. I caught the 2
colors I thought were the nicest looking.
