Tuesday after school this week our 10 bins from Denver arrived! They had all been opened, but as far as I can tell nothing was taken! My students now have many more books–six bins went to my classroom.

Going to the Witch’s Market tomorrow morning and then will attempt the Hash House Harrier’s run/walk from the Valley of the Moon. Note:  Did not make it to either the Witch’s Market or the Hash–too much rain. 

Have missed Ernie this week while he’s been in Santa Cruz with the junior class. He returns around 9-ish this evening. Ernie’s photos are from the Santa Cruz area where he visited The Jesuit Missions with the junior class in San Javier, Concepcion, and San Ingacio–the churches were built in the 1700’s and restored in the 1970’s.

Off to celebrate spring at the Highlanders Restaurant (tex/mex). Well . . . that was probably a big mistake. On Saturday night I joined friends at the Highlanders again as it’s been one of our favorite restaurants since we arrived. I ended up in the hospital on Sunday evening and spent the night. Off school for two days now; the doctor thinks it must have been food poisoning. Now I’m on the mend and will be ready to return to school on Wedneday. The care was excellent at the hospital, the room was clean; the most difficult part was the language barrier, but we got through it. Ernie stayed with me in the room on Sunday night. 🙂
