so ... walking back in the fine sand in the middle of the matta/forest... zak points to something and steps back... I look and there's a tarantula about 5 inches long on the side - so i grab z and back up. Later, upon asking they say this one is not dangerous, only throws it's hairs - which itch... so that evening Gabriel had medicine dance and the kids were placed at his house watching TV. Z went with Angelina and she said he was fine so I went to the dance - began the relaxation/trance , blindfolded.. then someone took my hand and helped me up. I wanted to remove the blindfold but realized it's part of the dance.. and then they kept telling me "your son" "your son" and i finally realized he was there ... crying. One of the school teachers brought him to the dance because he was crying for me - but she was as white as this screen from having seen a snake... well .. so now I'm in Gabriel's house in Itacare (the second one) cuz I got a bit spooked with everyone's story - "Yes, yesterday so and so had a snake in her hammock when she went to sit in it", There are flying spiders - those are the ones to watch out for... i decided to ask if \i could stay in the itacare house...
arrived there - climbed up and up and up (rmeinds me of Zsuzs´place in LA that she shared but HIGHER)... gr8, but totally isolated and farther from the beach... i checked if the other house was avail and we were able to stay there (On concha beach ) where upstairs was the most... helpful character... Salo (Saloman)...
Salo is telling me to write:... I met the most increcible guy - selfish is like cholestoral and agi says no no ...he continues (w/o a thought to my idea) you have HDL & LDL good and bad - life is balance - we have to work out our monsters...
so it goes like this. Salo saved us from total impoverishment as I couldn~t work the ATM machines anywhere in town, not knowing the secret ... and he lent me $20 Reis (~10$)... which we lived on for a day and a half til i spent half the AM in the banc filled with people . We were so tired - /Z and i\ of dragging all over the place that I rented a moped - feeling like I~m taking our lives in my hands, but dunno any alternative. Salo has a great mountain bike for us, but it has no kids seat and I dunno how to solve that prob. Also, I~d hafta exercise a lot w; that so ... better take chances than exercise!
So The really really cool thing is that Z is behind me playing the XBOX w; a bunch of cool kids while I~m trying to learn how to upload videos from here- (which is not succeeding) .
OHHHHHH - Spoke to Jorge/Dani from Casa Da Boneco and they said Z can start percussion lessons anytime. $100 Reis /week!!!! I am dying to arrange staying here in Itacare so he can start.
