In a way the adventures are still exciting but in another way they are starting to seem the same. I don’t know why that is because you certainly give good descriptions of everything and we couldn’t ask for better stories. I think this trip is a very in depth study of people of another culture and how they live. I think I am used to trips where things change with every state and there are many new things to see. But you are the one who is doing the trip and the fact that you are having so much fun is wonderful. Maybe I feel the way I do because I want you home AND SOON. Grandpa John and Bud better stick close to you after you and Cass part ways, but I think you have learned tons of new ways to take care of yourself so you are in good shape for the trip home. Do you think you would have been able to stand that hot hot water if it were summer. It sounded pretty hot to me. The scenery in the pool sounded delightful too. Haha. Gives you something to look forward to in your old age. The weather seems muggier each day and I think I have had enough. I vacuumed today and just as I finished the hose came off the vacuum so I will get your Dad’s help on that tomorrow I hope. Lona will be here Tuesday and we will wash sheets and the mattress pad. Then I’ll be clean again for awhile. I worry about Art too. He is having too many infections, etc. and that’s not good with his condition. Talked to a cousin in AR today and three relatives have cancer and one has a very bad heart. I would really like to talk about happy things one of these days. I think I would like to hang around little kids and watch them play and forget about all the other junk. The rain or chance of it is bringing every ant alive in the world out of the ground. You can get bit just standing outside. Denise and Ed poured a cement floor in their barn this weekend. Hope it went well. This is the end of what I know so this will have to do for now. I still look forward to seeing your letters show up on the screen. Hope you are able to write until you catch your plane for home. We all think about you each day. Love to you from G and G

What a pleasant surprise….another blog!!! I am so glad you corrected the name of the city you were in because I could not find Cuacas on the map from my library book on Ecuador. I think I would like Cuenca. I enjoyed hearing about the baths. I love your adventure… and I am glad you did the 8 km winding walk to get to the hot springs/saunas. I hope you are taking pictures! I sent a copy of your blogs to “Grandpa Bob,” better known as Bob Allen. He thoroughly enjoys your adventure, and I told him I would send the others that you have written since the July 18th entry. Even his daughter called to thank me for sending them to Bob. On Thursaday Laura and I will be going with Debbie, Babette, Kendy, and Linda Stamets on an Arts Guild bus trip that leaves from Julian and goes to LA to the King Tut Exhibit. It is an all day trip…. and I think it will be fun. I doubt if we’ll have any goats tied to the roof of our bus, but it will be a special trip for us. It will also mark the one week point for your return home. I know you are dreading to return… but we won’t have to worry about you, and selfishly we’ll be a lot happier. Be careful…We love you!!!!! Love, Mom
