You could easily said that we were adopted by him. He saw us first of when we trying to find a spot to stop. He invited us to park just in front of his house, an empty lot in front of the beach, among all his "cousins" houses and  bar. For the next 3 days he made sure that we had all we needed and more.  Visiting us every morning and afternoon, it was his familiar smiling face greeting us every day.  Lazy days of coconut water by the beach.
