Child's Play in and around Plaza Santa Domingo

  Sitting as still as statues we see these two boy fishermen. One day we walked passed a stoic blackened fisherboy in La Matuna who was standing upon a pedestal in a casting pose for nearly an hour. As we crossed the construction site nearby, I hurried back and placed several coins in his tin. He immediately moved...and slowly casted and pulled back his rod. Soon everyone around was dashing nearby tossing in coins. I stood before him gawking and his glance rivoted mine, and bowing his head, his cast reeled in my hand in his to kiss it.
 A mime speaks many words silently to his listeners,
  but his smile tells what words can't.
  We had just met these two beaming chidren and already their smiles have captured Rick. Posted by Picasa
