The
group at the planetarium
Wow what a Wonderful Saturday. I love our excursions. Today we
went to Naolinco - the leather capital of Mexico. It was amazing.
How many different products were available. After shopping we at
at a fabulous place, picadors for lunch -YUM. But even more YUM
was that Goldi gave us dessert - macaroon de limon - before
lunch. That surely was not a Goldi move but it was delicious and
much appreciated. After lunch we went to the Naolinco
Waterfall. By this point it began to rain and the walk down in
the mud was a bit treacherous. The last stop was the best, at
least I think so, and I am pretty sure the ninos thought so too.
The Museo interactivo was just what you think; an interactive
museum. So it was hands on and divertido (fun)- my new Spanish
word of the day.
Mostly it was wonderful to renew old friends and make some new. A
year makes a difference in the lives of these wonderful young people.
And some of the are no longer with us. "My" Eric has gone to work
in a bakery with his father. I am sad about that, but it is the
reality for many here. The need to provide for the family in the
short run takes precedent over the possibilities that come with
education. At least we know Eric got one more year of education
than he would have had before and that is something to smile about.
It was a great day and I am thrilled and blessed to be in one of my
favorite places!!!
