Una buena cena!

Yesterday was a super day for Jose Angel.
There is a small sum of money on an account for him, to get him food.
This week a guy from California bought him a couple of rolls of cotton to make macramé bracelets.
Jose Angel actually loves to create things with his hands. When he got some pens and paper, he made the most beautiful drawings.
With the cotton he got, he created great bracelets in several different styles.
Yesterday he finished his sixth bracelet. Two Ticos that were staying in the hotel saw that what he had made looked good and they bought two of his creations for C$50 ($2.50).
This morning, when Jose Angel brought in his little blanket he smiled and told me he'd had "una buena cena" the night before.
A 'delicious dinner', and he'd paid for it with the money he had earned!
