This afternoon, the boys and I hauled three large bags of stuff over to Las Heras Park to sell. Proceeds went to Mascotas en Adopcion, an animal shelter we've been volunteering with. Business was slow at first, but soon picked up, and the boys even made a few two-legged friends (the 10- and 11-year-old sons of another volunteer, and a 10-year-old girlfriend of theirs).
At the end of the afternoon, Alex got his "first kiss", as the 10-year-old girl innocently pecked him on the cheek -- as is the custom here -- to say good-bye. He was absolutely mortified, and went and hid in a bush!!!
While waiting for the bus home, we saw one of the Marias, who was en route home (on a passing bus) from an outing with her parents.
$100+ ARS for the street dogs, a first kiss, new mate mates and a Maria-sighting, all in one afternoon -- what a successful day! ;-P
