BLAN
Whenever we get in our car and travel any further than PV, the city near us where we frequent the store, we stop traffic. LITERALLY! You see, we are foreigners, blan, white people and they can easily see us coming. Simply because of our skin color, our vehicle is going to be stopped and we are going to have to hand over the paperwork to the police at the stop. Sometimes these stops are inconvenient, sometimes they are expensive and sometimes they are actually quick. Our ministry met at the camp location at the beach. It takes about 2 hours to travel the 50 miles and THAT is if we leave early in the morning before the country awakens. On our way there, we were pulled over-SURPRISE! After seeing our paperwork and that we were in compliance with the law, the officer asked if we had any money to give him. We said no. The police are obviously not paid well so he asked for money so he could get a drink. It is hot and we would not have hesitated to purchase them a drink!
