The phone call home yesterday was sheer joy - on both ends. Getting settled on the avocado farm in the earth lodge has been 'amazing', according to Charlotte, who also reports that she has genuine affection for each of your daughters. Well done, parents; you're raising wonderful young women.
They are moving on soon and hope to have access to the internet at the next stop. Gennifre is heading back to Bozeman, and she will be taking notes and/or letters from the girls to send home. I can hardly wait for Gennifre's photos from these first two weeks.
I was one of the parents who went to Houston for the big 'send-off, wondering if it was overkill, too cling-y, or just prolonging the 'adios' (She is our only child). After meeting the teachers, Gen, some of the other parents, and the other girls, all of the feelings of angst and concern went out the window; we said our goodbyes with excitement and happiness .. no tears, just positive anticipation.
Rob and I plan to go on the parent's trip. We are looking forward to this next rendezvous, hoping also to see some of you there, too.
Cheers ... Kate McConagthy
