Nina Sola

     While preparing to leave the small village of Quimixto on the Bay of Banderas in Mexico, we watched the local children playing on the beach. Running around the beach, dodging the tourists, the small group of ninos were chasing a soccer ball. All except one. This little girl was content to be alone, drawing pictures in the sand. Fortunately, after a little while, one of the boys wandered over to where she was sitting and joined her in making sand art. Minutes later, I put down the camera and challenged the kids to a quick game of 'footie'.
