September 30, 2010

it is thursday and a lot has been going on.  Jenny and Nick left for Asuncion by quad, there they get their car and drive on to San Quintin where they live.  I saw pics of their palapa outside their yard and it is fantastic.  looks like the perfect place to sit and have a beer and plop in the water - since it is surrounded by water at high tide.  Jenny and Nick met George and Mary when they went to campo rene ... small world ... and they sent a message that they might be out on friday to visit. 

Juanchys stopped by and some Americans are in Vizcaino for the night and will come to see our house tomorrow. 

Alonso is supposed to come tomorrow too.

Bruna, my niece is not doing too well. she is so rebellious still, over her teens but just not a happy camper.  such a waste of time, how do you reach someone who is so unreachable ... She is in Brazil, with my mom, taking care of health issues - serious ones - diseases she contracted while in Africa, I think going there was a huge mistake. sounded so romantic and ended up being one of the most horrible decisions.

one of the most troublesome and endangered of the bikers came to visit me today. since i had leftover pancakes, i gave him to banana blueberry pancakes with syrup on top. He ate most of it and then we looked at BMX bikes that he loves. i want to get him one. i lent him a sleeping bag for him to go to vizcaino in saturday with the kids in the club.  they are taking the minivan and going saturday. we are taking our truck and going on sunday. we hear the race track has been  changed .... which is good to keep kids on their toes but bad because we already went and ran the tradck 2 weeks ago.  Jenny said she has friends who have bikes, wouldnt that just be awesome if she really got me one  or two ?????  so awesome.

Les finally came downstairs, he is feeling better but the fever strikes at night .... I am afraid that it get too high and that I might be asleep at the time. Not good for his heart at all ...

september 29, 2010

it is wednesday and today is teaching da. the kids are learing fast, it is amazing how fast they pick up. if we taught 7 year olds, all the american kids would be bi- lingual with no problem at all

a guy named GUY left today for Asundion to pick up  his truck and then drive to San Quentin where he and his wife Maggie live. Now the fun part: he and his son opened a school in CHONGQUING, CHINA - called Shelton School of International Language and it is a beautiful place, he says. Teachers get paid about $1000 a month and rent for a gorgeoua apt is $200. So, I am going to trvel there and teach for 2 months !! I am so excited, I can hardly stand it. I will teach and then once I have a place, Les can come and Mom too.  yahoooooooo

NOw his wife Maggie had her arm almost severed by a wire someone had put around their property. she was riding the quad and ran right into it. horrible accident. Before the shcool - Guy worked with dry cleaning. last time he brought tons of bags of clothes, the border hassled hom so much , he never brought more. such a shame.  now his home in san quintin can sleep 26 people !!!!  he used to have a plane.

he came with another couple who are just the nicest people. he is Nicky and she is Jenny. they live in san quentin. she lived in brasil as a kids ince her dad worled setting up settlements for gringoes who were coming to make damns and roads all over central and southa america. she lived outside B Horizonte !!  for 5 eyars !!  form 10 to 15 and then as a teen she lived with grandma in the states to go to high school.   Nick did something with construction. they sound like they have a beautiful home in sa quentin, it is an area of gringoes only.  they have offered us their guesthouse and for sure we shall take them up on their offer.

Les is not feeling well and is spending day 3 in bed, he is better but not 100%.

La Bocana is all foggy, who ever heard of such a thing !!
