Hola from somewhere on the road......,
As we said last week, we would be leaving for the USA
the following Tuesday, June 25. Well, our friends and neighbors could not
just let us sneak out of town that morning as we had planned. Seems they
all got together and decided to throw a little going away party. They
really went to quite a bit of work and planning. Somehow they found out
the exact time we were leaving and showed up at our driveway. On top of
that, they decided to all dress alike so we would not know who was who.
That was fun.
Then, since they all were so kind to show up, we had
Ryan find something for them to eat. They all seemed to think that gum
drops were a real treat.
Aren’t friends nice to have in the neighborhood?
We really should have known. They did the exact same thing last year when
we left for the USA. (And there will be more when we return...at least one of these looks mighty wide right now!)
On another note…… I am thinking that none of you knew
that there was any Pterodactyl still in existence! Well, let me tell you
that there is apparently at least one still in Baja. It can fly, but I am
not sure how with one wing broken!
Our first day of travels took us to Mulege, to our favorite hotel where we always enjoy the pool and swim-up bar. About 10 minutes after getting to the hotel (while still unpacking), 27 8th grade boys and girls from
the local school hit the pool for an "end of the school year" party!!! There was no room for me!
This picture only shows a small portion of all the kids there!
Until next time!
On the road with Ben, Harriet, Sam and Zoey
