What a View!

This morning we work up to an amazing view out our bedroom window:



This is Volcan El Misti ... the huge volcano that towers above Arequipa. It stands at around 20,000 feet! Out another window in the same apartment, you can see its sister mountain, which is even higher, though not volcanic. This was an amazing sight to see first thing in the morning after 2 days of clouds.

The night before, Matt L taught Fernando, the 16 year old son of our host mother, how to play bridge ... in Spanish!!!!!!!

More tomorrow about our day in school etc ...

of COURSE matt taught bridge....jordan and i are pining for your return to resume our heated bridge matches. we have been trying to lure danny and bernadette into learning too, but so far they have not been tempted. they need matt L's enticing ways.
