Buenos Dias!

Going to have to be a little shorter or a little quicker on my email today, had to do some new fangled doo-thingy for reporting Key Indicators and that ate up a good chunk of my online time!

I went to a Pulga (Flea Market) again this past Saturday. Though it was in a different location AND it was sunny which made the experiance very different. The previous Pulga was like a garage sale with tables and some covering. And since it was Rainy not all that many people had ventured out to check the wares. This last time it was in the Pulga that is nicknamed 'Little Mexico' and it was FAR more appealing. I felt like it was a fair or something! So cool! And there were LOTS more people! And it was hot, very hot. Thank goodness for the breezes! Though the breezes meant that there was dust everywhere and that was not especially pleasant. But a good experiance none-the-less for learning. My spanish is improving little by little. But I'm encountering accents that I have NO idea what they are saying.

Also I want to give an apology to those who have sent me a letter a while back and have nto yet recieved their reply. I promised to answer every letter and I stand by that promise! I just didn't say it'd be immediate. The last two Preperation Days have not been terribley conducive to writing letters. But this week is going to be mostly a home-and-recuperate-from-various-ailments day. So I should have time to write several letters. So you are not forgotten! Thank you so much for every letter!

Today I checked the temperature in the dash of our car and in the morning it's already 92 degrees. I've heard that this summer is going to be a hot one. (And it usually is in the 100's, oh goodness gracious) The humidity really does make the difference. I thought it was in the nineties a few days ago because of how hot I felt, but it was only 84 degrees! Air Conditioning is my FRIEND. I want to send Christmas Cards to whoever invented this glorious machine.

And that's it for now. Good luck to you all!

Love
