Sunday August 26/12 update

Late nights and early mornings take their toll, especially when you don’t lock the Boys out.

I polished up a discussion paper for the Amigos School meeting on Friday as I nervously watched my email to see if we would have any more takers to go to the volcanoes.  Sadly nothing happened today on that front so I emailed the other couple to say I was still willing to go if they were agreeable in splitting the cost only 3 ways, about $35 more each.  Elation occurred when they responded that they were still agreeable so onward and upward in the face of adversity.

I contacted Linda & Tom to drop off my portion of the presentation and they said to come over, so I hopped the #3 at Monay Mall which takes me within a block of their amazing 3,000 sq ft apartment in Otorogo, overlooking the park and the large hummingbird display. 

They are such big-hearted people and an immense asset to the Amigos school.  We discussed many issues and topics before I caught the #3 home.

I wasn’t sure where the #3 would travel because the eastbound lanes on Suarez were closed for repaving.   The detour was ridiculously far but returned a couple of blocks from our bridge so I was OK with that.

I have mellowed over the last few years and learned to exercise more patience with most things.   But when folks are waiting on me to provide information that I must obtain from an unreliable third party, I begin a slow boil.  I have just fired off an angry email to the driver for the volcano excusion (Miguel, the founder of the Amigos School) who has been promising information for over a week now.  Here we are, with less than 36 hours to go, and about all we know is that we are going east.  I am not a happy camper and I let him know it.   That was today’s excitement.   Please see all photos at souvenircuenca.blogspot.com.  Hugs to all.
