the eagle has landed...




We are sitting in Eronga at El Molino basking in the beautiful sun and trying to believe we are really in Mexico. As soon as our plane landed Queen told us all to start speaking Spanish! The kids were great and the trip long ...we did not get to the camp until 6:30 AM. It took a long time to clear immigration and customs and then the bus ride to El Molino. We all tried to sleep as best we could, a few hours here and a few hours there. Beatriz is smiling ear to ear, Juliet is pushing her self to speak Spanish to the counselors even if they speak some English. Camille, Lila, and Sasha were up early and went into town with Barbara ,the counselor, to visit the local church. Breakfast included pancakes, pan dulce, melon, chocolate caliente y otro jugos. The rest of our crew are sleeping like kittens.

  2. I can't believe you posted to your blog on zero sleep (but maybe lots of adrenaline)! Sounds like a l-o-n-g travel day...and don't kittens cat-nap, meaning in fits and starts??? Now if they basset-napped, that would be another matter altogether! Have a wonderful week and enjoy the adventure.

  3. Please tell Juliet that I love her and miss her very much and am very proud of her for attempting to speak Spanish. Also tell her that Robert Pattinson is going to be in a new movie about the life of Salvador Dali and wears a very funny mustache. -Charlotte (Juliet's sister)
