Because i told Sue i would. . .

Well, here is a better pic of the family that I am currently staying with. I snapped this last weekend before they went to a wedding. This is right across the street from my house, we live on the edge of town and there is a park on the hill, very nice. I have been staying with them for a little over a month now and have really enjoyed my time with them, playing with the girls, talking with Ana, eating the good food Ana makes, laughing at Ruben and his jokes and spanish play on words. . . it´s been great for using my spanishh more. Well, unfortunately I will be moving soon again. Ruben´s father is being operated on this Tuesday for stomach cancer and he will be needing to stay with his family. There are actually three siblings who live here in Valdepeñas who will be taking turns housing Gregorio. I was told Friday night that I should start looking for another place and I already have talked with three people about possible options. Keep Gregorio in your prayers this coming week and his family too.

Some random pics from a few months ago

This was a while ago when we went to Jaen for the climbing concentration. Here we all are lined up: Antonio, Gallardo, Gonzalo, Bea, Phil, Oso the dog, Blas, and Gabriel.
We went bouldering one afternoon somewhere on the border between Jaen and Cuidad Real. That´s Maria doing a problem and Gabriel, Phil, and Antonio watching, with Gonzalo on the rock.

Stream with cool rock formations by where we were bouldering.

One day Betty (my German friend) and I made 2 apple pies and 1 strawberry pie. Phil, Bernardo and Betty enjoying the apple pie! mmmm!

I went and visited my American friends, Jody and Michelle, in Madrid before they went back home for the summer.
