Weirdness of the Week - Episode 3.14159

Shoe Repair Man - I fixed your Chacos, you just can't get them wet.
Me- um.... that's what these shoes are for.
Shoe Repair Man - hm..... well... not anymore.  

*also, I haven't gotten them wet and after just this week, the soles have already fallen off again.

Six year olds calling me "Rica, Guapa" from their porch as I walked by in my new neighborhood.

Having a woman call me "muñeca" as I walked by her porch in my new neighborhood.

Having a woman say, "gracias mi corazon" to me when I shined a light so she could see where she was walking in my new neighborhood.

Seeing a man driving a car with a baby on his lap.... so that it looked like the baby was steering the car.

Getting into a collectivo where my fellow passenger in the back seat was a 3 year old girl... standing like it was her job to ride.  Maybe the driver was her grandpa?  I never found out and I'm still wondering why she had a piece of newspaper stuffed into the back of her shirt.
