Leila is, without a doubt, the BINGO QUEEN…She always comes home a winner. In the 5 weeks I was there, she came home with a microwave oven, electric sandwich makers, coffee pots, bed comforters, clothing, toys, and even baskets of food. I won nothing, but I learned ...

... and beans (go figure). It was not like what we had when we visited Costa Rica in January though. The rice and beans were served separately here.
I am sharing a room with 3 other girls. The other girls are about 20 years old. I am not sure what they were thinking putting a 40 year old with 20 year olds, but I am sure it will be fine. There are several people here who are in their late 20's and early 30's so that is really nice ...
