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 !!
