The best part for me was Alex, a crazy little dude who, as soon as we sorted out the payment problems, did a front flip into the shallow end of the pool - he's an impressive gymnast, even in cheap cowboy boots - but scared himself and retreated to the little kid pool. I talked him back into the big pool and he called out to all the other kids, hey, look at me, I'm in.<br />He also does quite a good, 'Helloooo, hoow are yoou,' in English, although he has no idea what he is saying.<br />Really, I'm not sure you do much. But it's nice to swim, and go back to the orphanage smelling of chlorine and feeling a little like there's a world out there, even if you don't touch it very often.paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11003637352818760817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400574.post-82732069989234341742012-06-02T12:53:41.346-07:002012-06-02T12:53:41.346-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11003637352818760817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400574.post-84886540609227589922012-06-02T12:33:41.600-07:002012-06-02T12:33:41.600-07:00To mangle Yogi, badly....
