Success!


We ended the day with flashes of lightning, followed by thunder and rain--a proper Santa Elena conclusion for "our" 4th of July.



The morning greeted us with a spirited display of bows, necklaces, napkins and a happy 4th of July---given to us by our own keeper of celebrations, Pam Cromer.



We left for school with much trepidation--we had decided to try an experiment, advertising time to practice English today and Friday morning to anyone in the community. School is out for a vacation, so we weren't sure how many, who or when people might show up. Thanks to Pam--who stood by the gate "pimping"---and a number of people who were bringing their children for art and science lessons, we ended up with a good number of people of all ages and English abilities in the morning and afternoon. A real success!


The evening found us enjoying an amazing "farewell¨" dinner at Trio's---great menu, wonderful dining experience.
