Brandon

One of our neighbors likes to play with scorpions, after cutting off the stinger.  Brandon's grandfather is Don Juan.  He owns the coffee farm that his sons run.  Brandon speaks excellent english so he has recently been hired as a tour guide.  Brandon learned english at the Creativa school, when he was in first and second grade with Jean (see earlier post: My Jeanie).  Brandon is now 17, and is learning to play the flute.  He walks by our house on the way home from work and frequently stops by for tea and to play with Kiera ("My little monkey") and Val.  He is the epitome of the gentle and modest tico.
