Departure Prep
Right now it's all about packing and learning how to use this little mini laptop...plus collecting art supplies for the Learning Center in Nebaj (thank you friends and family!). I got word from the Friendship Bridge office in Colorado yesterday that I should take polar fleece as it's "chilly up there at night" and that I might want to bring instant soups and granola bars and nuts for protein as "food is limited in Nebaj." NOW they tell me this! What, ain't no pizza there??? And I had planned to leave anything made of fleece here in the Northwest. Foiled in that plan. Oh well, I guess I'll still go....:-)

Thanks for helping Ali! It was good to see your folks at the little gathering last night. Maybe you can get them signed up with a google account so they can post comments too....and post a picture of Daisy as a "follower!" I sure hope you enjoy reading about Guatemala; I'm going to be teaching there so I will try to post some pictures of the kids, some of whom will be your age. That might not be possible until after Easter though. Are you going to study Spanish in school, or Japanese like Scott? Or French like Hannah? Or? It's so fun to learn anotherlanguage and then go to a country where you can speak it!

I dont really know what I am going to take. Maybe Japanese. I will have to think that over. It will be nice to see pictures of the kids.
