The Arrival of Friends

Around the middle of July, my paths joined with friends from Hawaii/Seattle, friend from El Salvador, and friend from Columbia. Welcome friends, goodbye Spanish (but only for a little while, I hope).

Rather than jumping from city to city every other day, my trip has morphed into stability in a rustic three bedroom house, shopping adventures in and around town, teaching a toddler how to walk and talk, and brainstorming variety into meals with the same five ingredients (tomato, squash, cheese, cucumber, avocado). However settled this may seem, our lives still contain much adventure.

Day One: Tequila, salt and lime. Dulces Sueños- Sweet Dreams.


Day Two: Aggressive children hold baby hostage forcing us to buy macrame bracelets and small clay animals.


Day Three: Baby learns to walk with encouragement from father.


Day Four: We acquire a house in the country and begin nesting.
