Today i woke up excited to see Nenita, again. Yesterday i met her at her banana stand, I told her who i was and that i was one of the 5 girls who loaned 25$ to her. She gave me a big hug and told me all about her stand. Then she invited me in her house, and showed me the place where i will be sleeping. She pointed to the ground. "Are you ok sleeping on the floor?" she asked sounding concerned. I thought back to all the places i have traveled before and said, "Of corse i am". "Magandang umaga po" she said wiping her eyes. "What?" i said. "Magandang umaga po. It means good morning here." You learn something every day i thought. "Well, Magandang umaga po, to you too." Nenita lead me outside of her small house and brought me to her banana stand. "Magandang umaga po" said Nenita, to a woman walking up to her stand. She had very tan skin and long black hair. She pointed to a some bananas that were tied together by string. Nenita handed her the bananas and traded for the money. "Salamat po" "what does that mean?" i said thinking out load. "It means Thank you." Nenita told me. Until the sun went down we sold bananas and charcoal. "That was fun!!" i said sitting next too the fire. "Yes". She said laying down to sleep on the ground. That night i had a really great sleep.
