TGIF



We’ve completed our first week of Spanish language school – thank goodness! It’s been an astonishingly difficult experience after so many years away from school, but we feel like we’re finally “getting it”, so think it’s been worthwhile. Nonetheless, we’re glad the week is over. See the photos of our classes, along with our professors and classmates.




This afternoon we left La Paz and drove, without the RV which we left behind in La Paz, to Los Barriles. Our friends Jim and Phebe Richards are renting a house in Los Barriles for 3 months, only 2 hours south of La Paz. Phebe has gone to New England for a week with her family, so we’ve come to keep company with Jim in Los Barriles, a town which we enjoyed immensely last winter. Tonight we sat on the roof-top deck and had a sunset drink along with Russett, the landlord who lives next door, a lively and interesting woman who hails from Boise, Idaho but now lives here full-time. Jim prepared a delicious curry dinner, and we’ve spent the last 5 hours catching up on news since we last saw Jim and Phebe in Olalla. Life remains good, and we are happy and healthy!
