Wednesday Mar 28/12 update
As I walked to my rendezvous last night I noticed the
Tomebamba was running very high since I could not see my “measuring rock” at
all so I took a photo with a flash. I
hope it does not get much higher or there could be flooding problems across the
river.
Last night I met with the young economist, Juan Bernardo Matute Pacheco,
and we traded stories and helped each other with our different languages. He is a very bright and pleasant young
fellow. He was forced to re-take an
English class because he had written the Spanish translation of two English
words in his textbook. That sure sounded
pretty harsh. Our next meeting is
actually going to begin with 8am Mass on Sunday at Immaculate Conception, then
we will walk around El Centro and practice our (poor) language skills.
Really sad news was received from our good cousin Maurice
Jalbert. His wife, Marilyn, has lost her
fight with cancer on the 26th.
We sincerely hope a cure is found soon.
More sad news arrived that our expected first visitor has
been felled by pneumonia and is not able to make the trip. Get well quickly Mavis and book those flights
again. We tried to get the Pope to stop
by, since he is in the area, but his plans were already set in stone, sorry.
I stayed in all day fighting with the internet, which
crashed about 4 times, trying to still find a better way to access some North
American programming. I did find some
interesting sites but I don’t think I can watch too many live shows, events or
sports.
Bella was busy binding her new cookbook which has already
given her many new insights.
Enjoy the pics. That
was today’s excitement. Hugs to all.
