School of Rock




Okay, actually school of adobe, but I´ve been sucked into Andrew´s film title blog name protocol ...

We saw the school for the first time yesterday, so here are a couple of photos which really don´t show it well - I will take more. It is really incredible, especially when you know that a year ago it was only one derelict building - there are now four classes, a kitchen and another building underway, plus an adobe brick wall around the whole of the school grounds. And they are about to start a kitchen garden! Imagine my excitement ...

I will also be putting a link to our Flickr account in the blog so that those of you who REALLY care can look at all our photos. Unfortunately uploading takes forever as we have to do them one by one in an internet cafe.

Today Andrew and Hol are white water rafting in the Sacred Valley and poor Phoebe is standing patiently by as I do tedious computer stuff.

Andrew and the kids had their first Spanish lessons yesterday - Hol is doing especially well. I can understand about 80 per cent, but look forward to starting lessons next week so I can actually starting TALKING.

I just wanted to give you a baseball update we lost to gladsville 1 on saturday 11-10 we played really well and the big hitter struck out twice and only got to 1st on his 3rd bat.... we should have beaten them after going 4-0 up after the first innings however after some very shabby fielding we Ester yhrough the ball miles away from 1st letting 4 of them get hom she then did it again and let 3 more home in the next over!!! i dont want single her out but god she was awfull and we persisted in playing her at 2nd base...(very annyoying for me on the side line but i kept my frustration under wraps until we got home when i screamed very loudly).....well gald your all well i will keep avidly following your everymove and for us at home it feels like we are sharring your adventure keep up the good posts.
