Standfast

This photo was taken while we were on standfast. Standfast is PC's way of saying be alert. Damian, the rather tall guy in the back, was relocated to Malacas during the recent country wide election season of five days because his site was deemed a possible dangerous place to be by PC administration. Frank is on the right and in the front is my host brother Miguel.

Miguel is 30 years old. He, his wife, and two children all have visas to the United States. They've gone to the states once as a family and he'll be going to Miami and New York to visit extended family this October by himself. His wife's name is Alejandra and his two little kids are Miguelito and Angelou. I spend most of my afternoons with his two kids. They live next door and so are always coming over to their grandparents' house. Angelou is three years old and Miguelito is eight. Miguelito loves Barcelona FC and hopes to one day be a goal keeper. Angelou is much younger and looks more like his father, Miguel.
