MOTHER'S DAY

I had a really nice day today ...we woke up at 7, turned the coffee on, I got pancake batter together and

Mom called on skype !!!  It is mothers day and it was so nice to talk to her .... wasnt too long of a conversation since at 7:30 on the dot, Edith and Valentin showed up. We ate and got on the road.  Destination: mountains nearby where there are fossilized seashells and shark teeth !!!!

A little less than an hour later, there we were. Right away Valentin found one !  I hunted and hunted and nada ... just some partials of caracols.  Valentin and Edith  found about 9 really nice shark teeth and even Les found a good one. It was great fun and incredible to imagine that what is now a mountain was a coral reef once ... bits and pieces of shells everywhere and all around it desert

Came home and started doing homework on the Copper Canyon !! We are going next week !!! Baja Nomads have been fantastic about giving very good advice

I am very very excited. It sounds like another TRIP OF A LIFETIME :))))))))))))))))))))))

also spent some time chatting with Lynn about her daughter coming in July. sounds like the best plan is to have her come on a private small jet. i do hope she brings a friend or 3. It will make all the difference inthe world. and the more people to help clean, the better !!!! My plan is to clean the road between punta abreojos and us again ... looks like this road littering will always be an issue .... it is filthy and such a shame, really, as it is the entrance to our village :(

I also got notes on FB from Marc and Rafa ... why they dont call is beyond me .... as if I were on another planet !!!!!!!!!!!!!

We also got ONE more uniform donation - Kari Nina :)  So, this one will go to Israel.  The uniforms have been ordered - we got enough for sending half the money and the order has already gone out  YAHOOOOOOOOOO

Now, think it can arrive early ??? In time for the race on the 23rd ???? doubt it but wouldnt that be so cool !!

this last one is the view from the mountain looking back ... not one shell - just a lot of dirt - we were lucky today - it was an unusually cool day and the sun was not scorching ... it was hot but not HOT HOT
