roller blades and the start of a new school year

here ronni is wearing pink roller blades. let's discuss. where did he get roller blades? i hadn't seen them in this country until recently, and i'm seeing them in poorer areas. so this makes me wonder if a big shipment of used roller blades came down from the US. also, he's wearing these in chichigua. if you have ever been to chichigua, you might remember that there is no flat, paved surface. all dirt and rock. ronni was just walking around awkwardly in them. it didn't seem fun. but what i do i know about fun in chichigua? maybe it was a fashion statement.

on a different note, this week is what one might call "the calm before the storm." although now that i say that, it's not all that fitting because hurricane hannah has been raining on us since sunday. but from a school perspective, it is quiet - the summer program has ended and monday is the first day of the new school year. i think it's gonna be great! stay tuned for pictures and posts.
