Back In Kansas

We are back in the US and at our little house out on the prairie. We have very little money and it’s been that way for most of our lives. Flying as cheap as we could manage taking 3 airplanes and a one layover setting in the airport for 12 hours. Before this we had to take a 5 hour bus ride to the city to the airport and there take a Chinese virus test before we could fly. Always more money and more time but are here now. Here is a few thing we miss when we are not here.

Our old 49 year old truck.

Our motor bike, an Old 87 Honda 450 Rebel.

Our little house but there is a lot you don’t see. In the basement I have a full wood work shop. In the garage I have my welding tools and at our son’s house we have a mechanic shop.

Still In Guatemala

We are on the home stretch now to be back at our little house in Kansas. We are still in Guatemala and it’s hot. We are doing what most boaters do with a boat. We are working on the Pamela Ann getting her ready to go some where. The some where is and unknown. Our paper work is good till December. One day we want to go back to the US. The next we want to go onto maybe Columbia. We call it before breakfast or after breakfast. We change our minds so much then there are a few more factors like, we are getting old. We almost never have any money. Our boat is home built, Pam and I built it over 30 years ago and old boats need love. We been married 57 years and when we first married every one said we could just live of off love. It’s a lot harder to live off of just love now. We have a book we hope to get some one to look at to see if it can be publish and we can get something for it. Published not pay some one to publish it so we can see our name in print and pay big time just to see it. The big thing this summer is my art. Can we make anything with it? Sell a painting for $200 that takes three weeks to paint spend $100 on supplies and a frame is not making a living as an artist. Got a show coming up late this summer and the name of our book is Little Lies. Every one lies and we live our lives in denial we are lying are being lied to. Before I stared to school my Mama told me a lots I was smart. Give you a clue who was lying to who then. I say in a lot of our blogs that the food down here is bad, music worse and it’s hot but this is why we like to travel and love it down here. Some of the women here are small under 5 feet and wear traditional clothes.

Guatemalan women in traditional dress wait in line at the bank.

All women in the world are not pretty but some are and here some of these little women are beautiful They take there baby to work with them until they can work themselves. The big thing is they seem happy.

Selling nice hats on the side of the road, with the the little one along. She had very small baby in the car in the shade.

Nice hats.

These are a wild duck that are getting rare here because they seem tame and are easy to kill but they to are beautiful.

Family enjoying town.

Motor bike are a good way to get around here and going to town is entertainment for a lot of these people. Our old boat just waiting for the next adventure.
