Mi stima bo a todos - masha danki - dushis ::)) I hope I have that right....
I often find that the unexpected happens to me just when I need it most. Then again, I ask myself if it is really so unexpected! Aren't we family? I am always healed by the warm affection of not so strange strangers in far away places and Curacao was no exception. Inevitably, I learn, that after rain comes sunshine; you can depend on it. The kind of human and the human kindness that reached out to me in words like "mi amour" and "dushi" from the women and the morning smiles and howdies of the men who sent me on my way for my 6 a.m. walk; this was balm to my soul. They made my stay at the Hilton such a pleasant experience. Thank you for the beautiful smiles and the words that let me know that my comfort was your concern.
Kimberly, thank you for my first lesson in Papiamentu. I'm writing the phrases here as my first assignment. I also wanted to let you know that I stopped at the bookstore and I now have my first book.
