Day of Humor

April 1! Yes, it matters here. It is called the Day of Humor. We have been told to expect hundreds of thousands of people from all over the several country region here. Indeed, many of them were jamming all the downtown streets of Odessa. There were vendors, face painters, huge sound stages, and many families enjoying the day. We were told to expect a lot of public drunkenness but we did not see more than one would think normal in such an event.

We wondered all over the city wearing proudly our newly acquired brightly colored foam bonnets, wigs and hats (it is important to fit in right?). We stopped at a cafe to have lunch with Clay and Darlene Quarterman who have been MTW missionaries here for many years. It is always fun to see them and the team enjoyed listening to what they were doing here. After lunch, we continued our wonering.

Before I continue on, we would appreciate it if you would please write us a one-word note "yes" telling us you are reading this blog. Please write to steve@mdiweb.org. We are happy writing this blog if it is being read and enjoyed.
