something i remembered. my last trip to samana i bought pastries for two girls in a breadshop who were with their mom who said she had no money to feed them. i then watched the girls devour the pastries. i've never seen two kids look like they had been so hungry while they ate. these two girls tonight ate in front of me. they didn't appear as hungry....they didn't scarf the bread down. but it's a weird thing watching little kids eat food when they need it.
