Airport and Concert Saturday

We got the Rexroths to the airport to fly out around 1 and then the Bacons landed and got through customs etc about 1:30..Tommy and Linda went with the Bacons, Kevin and Janna, to Granada for some tourist stuff. They are long tiem friends from Charlotte and will spend 2.5 days just visiting with the Gables and siteseeing Monday-Wed afternoon so Oscar, Scarleth, and I get some time off.

Scarleth and I stayed at the airport trying to get Leo in by 7:30 but Copa Air loves to mess things up and he will not be coming until today around the same time..i will believe it when he lands..I'll update more about Copa and Leo's difficulties later.

Scarleth and I came back to Leon and saw my first Nica concert last night...it was a group of 3 guys called El Comando Tiburon..they are from Panama and have a Reggaeton style music...it is a form of urban music very popular in Latin America and getting popular in the states...Reggaeton blends Jamaican music influences of reggae and dancehall with hiphop..they will rap in both Spanish and English and have since called the lyrics Spanglish.

I didn't know any of their original songs, but they did some covers that I knew almsot every word to, and other songs that i recognized but can't say I really knew...It was a lot of fun and was packed..lots of age groups there..probably some as young as 8 up to people in their 40s...we paid for general admission tickets $5 US and made our way up to the 3rd row.

We are headed to Candelaria all day..childrens morning service and Tommy preaching tonight with soccer and games in between.

Please pray for Leo to get here tonight, the baseball team is losing some of its discipline and Scarleth and I are sick of Copa Air, we just can't wait to get him here and be done with them.

Hope all is well in the states...eastern time is now 2 hours ahead of me...they do not observe DST here
