Hi all:

Chris and I just got back from Taos, NM and were happily greeted with an email from Robin our 3rd daughter of four. She sounds fantastic and extremely busy. Her two highlighted events were playing futbol with some little boys at the school they visited and visiting the women's cooperative. Her comment was "It has changed my life!" She went on to say that everyone is getting along great, that they were on the move and that she was looking forward to her homestay to "really put her Spanish to use." Oh, she also "saw real lava." It all sounds like an adventure and learning experience that is an opportunity of a lifetime. We are so fortunate to have our girls in a place in their lives where they can experience the global environment that they will surely grow up to live and work in. My how things have changed!! I am looking forward to her next descriptions of their travels and getting to know your daughters through her. It sounds like they are a true fit with no strife and a true willingness to explore eachother's interests and viewpoints. A rarity this day in age. Can't wait to hear what you all have heard as well. Have a great week.
Mari and Chris Bauman
