hola! sorry i haven’t responded in awhile. today is saturday and my first day home so am enjoying - yes enjoying - doing laundry, puttering around the house and yard, catching up on emails and bills, etc. miss everyone in san diego but good to be home too. flew in sunday night after a long delay in phoenix. our plane’s de-icer wasn’t working so they had to get us a new plane. we all got a good laugh over that as it was over 100 in phoenix and high 90s on okc. of course, the de-icer is needed due to altitude temps - freezing at just 15,000 feet. monday it was back to work and gosh, the same thing all week long… ugh! i’m not in shape for that! love my job but a job is a job and i missed my flexible schedule, partying, disneyland, being with family, shopping, etc as usual, we excelled at amusing each other and ourselves without even trying… your trip has sounded great! look forward to hearing more once i see you. i’ve told lots of people the bare bones about our experiences. probably more bones than some wanted… where we went, what we saw and did, but it’s the interactions, conversations, sharing of experiences witih the people you encounter along the way that are the true gems… you will be forever changed by those things more than anything! that’s what i love about traveling the most! ooh, but that beach sounded great too! luv u! aunt t

Loved reading your recent blog. I am so impressed with Nicole’s work at the clinic. I remember the positive energy Nicole had when I met her, and she must bring a lot care and love to the “bright oasis.” I really enjoyed reading about the beach area and the surfer dudes. Those reed caballitos sound interesting. Hope you got some pictures. I think the best thing about your trip has been all the people you have met. It sounds like you are having a wonderful time. We love you, but selfishly we want you home. Be careful, but have fun! Love, Mom *I have sent Bob A. a copy of your blogs… and he is thoroughly enjoying reading about your trip… even his daughter called to thank me.

I am so disappointed. I wrote you a really long and good letter this afternoon and it has not shown up on the comment page so I guess it went to the moon. I had told you that while I was reading about your visit to the ocean that I could invision it because I had looked up the places on the web the night before. I even printed out two pictures so I could put them with your letter. I know where there are some good pictures of Machu Picchu and Cuzco so I will go back and copy them to put in with your messages. I’m not sure which way to spell Cuzco. Some use an s and some use a z. I got a nice surprise call from Ardith this morning. She is in Oregon with her oldest son. She will then visit her daughter in OR and then stop near Frisco to see her stepfather and then HOME. I have heard nothing about Charlie. No one answers at their house. Tomorrow Lu will take me to the P.O. so I can mail the last of my paper work. Then I should only have little problems to fix, I hope. The next big hurdle is the license renewal. I must take care of that soon. Lindsey went camping this last weekend for the first time in years and it did nothing but rain on them. She said she forgot to fix the top of her tent correctly so it rained on her sleeping bag and on her so she finally had to get in with someone who had a trailer. But she said they had fun. Lona still has to stick pretty close to home, but we talk a lot on the phone. Do you think you will be able to remember all the people you have met and their names ? Do you keep a small log ? I got a nice letter from Meemo today. It had a picture of her by, I think, Linda’s pool. She also named all the Disney places she saw and rides she did. I am surprised she is still able to get around. Thank you for writing. It means a lot. The time is going slow until you get home. Maybe we can have a nice talk on the bed before you go back to work. Maureen was 26 yesterday. I got to talk to her. She goes to New Orleans on business soon. Hi to Mama Cass and love to you from G and G.

Darcy,
These days sound a lot more relaxed than previous reports. Are the street venders for tourists or do locales frequent them? That place must be the size of Ramona to have so many people served by the clinic. Mom and Laura are working at their lifes passion…Wallmart, etc. Nothing exciting, just trying to beat the heat. Might go to California Speedway Sat. to watch Lennie’s car race. I haven’t been to a race in almost three years. Champions to chumps in the blink of an eye! See ya later.
Love, dad
