Street urchins

---

Luke, Jennifer Cherry, Cait, the newest addition Alice (shes from Italy so you pronounce her name Ali'ch'a) and I are sitting in our new hangout. All have been touched by a bunch of dirty faced children. Our confusion hangs over us like a heavy blanket of smoke. We are choking with watering eyes.

Two little girls at one moment utterly charming and in a heart beat begging and obnoxious. One of them giving us new Spanish names. I am Leyste (Lizzz) and Cait is Keys. She wrote us little notes and her and her sister danced for us. We gave her a few coins. Soon her sister is begging for money. Insistant. She won't leave us alone.

I do not know what the others are thinking. I can only say for myself. No. No I can't say for myself. One side of me was extremely pissed off. This little girl started to get me worried. I can my camera in my bag.....was she going to try and take it? I don't know what made me mad. Her begging or my fear. Where do you draw the line?
