Hey Lady! Hey Lady! That's all we could hear as we walked across this bridge exiting the Mauri thermal village. These kids in the water wanted us to throw our coins so they could dive for them. Apparently it is a tradition that is over 100 years old?? DJ's mom would have spent all day and about $500 here... The kids dove over and over for our 20 and 50 cent pieces. Kathy even threw a couple $1 and $2 coins in the mix.
The girl on the right was not happy as Kathy hadn't thrown a coin directly into her hand... so we went back to the van and made sure everyone got a coin or 2, DJ's mom would have been proud.
I'm glad to know you guys are looking out for the kids! Maybe if we get hard up for cash we could start something similar in Maine?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad mom wasnt't there! I'm sure she would have taken out a second mortgage just to throw money on children. "It's tradition!!"
