We were starting to get very worried about you. I wish you would have written, but fortunately I was updated on your travel plans by Cassidy’s parents. Call us when you get to Trujillo, or at least update your Peruvian Blog. I heard you were possibly going to Ecuador. PLEASE stay together! You still have two weeks, but I will be anxious for you to get home. It really sounds like you have had quite an adventure, and you have seen so many wonderful places and made so many friends from around the world. We just got back from our wonderful four day Disneyland/California Adventure trip, and I’ll tell you about it when you get home. We had a super time… but we are soooo tired. We miss you!! BE CAREFUL…. and keep us informed on where you are staying (name of hostel), and let us know where you are planning to go. We want to keep track of your journey. I know you don’t have a lot of free time…. but we would love to hear from you. Keep writing! Love, Mom

Thanks to the parents of Mama Cass we know that things were ok as of the 21st and where you are headed. Time to get the map out and have a stab at it. Weather here is thunder , lightning , some rain, east wind , muggy, and about 5 fires going in the county but so far they are keeping them small. I’ll be glad to get it back to just plain hot or cold. I’m begining to wonder what the word normal means. Nothing else new except Charlie is coming home. Too much bus trouble. I have heard nothing out of A and R. Still hoping you are ok and are still liking what you are seeing. Love G and G

It’s the 22nd and time to get a little jumpy. I don’t remember if you said where you were going next or not so I can’t figure how long it will take you to put another letter on the site. ALSO I do realize you don’t have a computer in every out house there. It’s still hot here. Lona came yesterday. We just rested on the bed and talked. Today is Grandpa Lewis’ birthday and yesterday was Grandma Rockey’s. So in bygone days we would all be at the ranch this weekend having a big reunion. I think for a long while those days are just going to have to be memories. We keep looking for thunder storms here but so far they are north of us and over the desert. There are clouds here today but I don’t know what will happen. I will close for now and hope you will be there the next timt I open. Haven’t heard one thing from the Mouse land people. Catch you later. Much love G and G

Another HOT day today with some storm clouds. A tiny bit of thunder this afternoon. Eileen T. took me to the PO today so 3 more papers gone and out of the way. Artie took Papasan to the ER this morning. He has Bronchial pneumonia but he got to come back home. Got a call from Ernie and he has gout and his wife’s leg is infected where she hit it two weeks ago. Nothing but good news from all the “Golden Years” people.
I was glad to hear those two old birds (John and Bud) were doing their job and watching over you from above. Watch for other signs. Never know what the two of them will come up with. Maybe something to do with fish ! B had a good cruise but now it’s back to work. Someone will buy a dump truck load of river rocks if she will load them. And she is if she doesn’t have a heat stroke. But the money is GOOD. Lona may come up Thursday or Friday. We’ll see. Ardith says they are thinking of mailing Roy home. Last I heard they were going to buy him a train ticket. His must be whining too much. I’ll close for now. Hope to hear from you soon. Dad is taking good care of me while the valley is empty. Take care - GOOD care of yourself. Love and hugs - G & G

Darcy,
Got a reply today from Seth Mallios, the archaeologist in the Nate Harrison video you saw. He is interested in working with me. He told me to contact a guy I had met two years ago on another grave locating project for SDSU. Small world. They might have time in the fall for a dig, with interns doing the work. That will save my body! I feel like I am making progress. Love, Dad

I am loving your adventure. I always look forward to reading your vivid descriptions. I have decided that you could be both a travel and food writer. I feel like I’m experiencing your trip too. I didn’t even know there was a hike above Machu Picchu, but I do remember a little boy racing up the mountain along side our bus too when Debbie and I were there back in 1969. He earned a lot of money from us too. Our little boy must be 45 years old by now!!! You got a call from Bob Allen’s daughter. She said Bob has been asking about you…..so I called him. He’s 96 years old now. He wanted to know what your doing… so I made a copy of your blog, and I sent it to him. We’re off to Disneyland….but I tell you about Mom’s party later. I love you….be careful. Looking forward to your next entry. Love, Mom

wow! that sounded fantastic! a place i would definitely like to visit one day! for now, it’s off to disneyland. just hanging out with the gals will be fun. i’m sure we’ll lose a few things (and not pounds!), go the wrong way, and laugh til we cry before it is all over. grandma’s party turned out great. it was hot but lots of people swam. the show was filled with love and grandma seemed to really enjoy it. delicious food but doubt it topped your burrito! hopefully we’ll have lots of picutres to show you and perhaps some video (between all of those filming…). when you get back, ask about our walmart trip the day before the party… we proably kept the surveillance crew in stitiches! luv u! aunt-t

Lordy, my butt got sore reading that one. You guys must be pimping that song “Live Like You Were Dying.” I guess nobody can say your not getting your nickels worth! Just so you remember what reality is like…it was stinking hot here today. It’s gonna be stinking hot tomorrow, and worse yet, I’ll be sitting at the same stinking desk tomorrow! Enjoy yourself little girl. Don’t worry about your poor old dad wasting away all the good years he has left…working. Love dad

What an incredible story. And one that I was very happy to see show up. You will never in a million years be able to relate all you have been through in just one or two conversations with a friend. You will definitely have to write a book. Meemo thinks so too. I never thought a person could go on a vacation like the one you are having. Did the altitude make you feel bad or were you ok? Lu took me to the bank this afternoon so two more paper jobs are done. They will leave for Meemo’s tomorrow and then on to Mouse Land until Friday morning. B got home today so now I will have someone to talk to. My Norton Antivirus sign is having a fit so hope it just wants to tell me I need to get a new one before Aug. It is so hot here you are missing nothing. You will have to hear the story about the three sisters and Laura in Walmart. I’m sure the whole store knew them by closing time. I, myself, will close for now and read your letter again. I tore through it the first time around. Love and miss you for sure. Take care - G - G
