unpacking my suitcase

The news from Bolivia didn't sound good. Roads blocked all over the country and insurrgents creating disturbances. The U.S. embassy in Bolivia issued a travel warning to Americans. So after careful consideration I had to make a decision. It was hard to call Abuelita and tell her. She cried, not only that I couldn't come, but that Bolivia was such a mess right now. If she were not so limited healthwise, I'd tell her to jump on a plane and come here. So l'm unpacking. Daniel and I hope to go when we can, but will go together.
It's extremely warm right now and men are here replacing the lining of the pool. It is hot for those guys outside. I really do have to admire men (and women) who work out in the elements and keep at a hot, dirty job.
I guess this weekend will be dedicated to getting the pool back up and running and the yard cleaned up after the work crew finish.
