Playgrounds

At one time or another, all of the young people on the mission team spent time playing at two parks in El Estor and one in Flores. In El Estor, they went numerous times to a park on the main street between Arca de Noe and the bakery. A couple of times they also went to a larger, albeit flooded, soccer field. In both places local kids accompanied them, and they played soccer and frisbee. In Flores the young people – and, for a while, Alfredo – went several times to a basketball court at the top of the hill in the center of the island that Flores sits on. Some of them met Brian, and played basketball against Guatemala, until all of them arrived and they threw frisbee and shot baskets. Back in Rio Dulce, the Bruno’s swimming pool emerged as a similar venue, where the young men and – for a time – Alfredo, Doug, and Perry – played monkey in the middle.
