Quickie (hopefully)
It has been brought to my attention (thank you, Rachel :o)) that I should probably address the monkey on my shoulder. You see, I was hoping to tell you all in person, but I decided to joined the circus. OK, or not. That picture was taken a couple weeks ago when I was in Peru (oooh, how I loved my time there!). A couple days before we left, we went upstream in the jungle to a "little" island in middle of the river (I haven't really known rivers to have islands before, so that was kind of fun), where there's a monkey habitat! Most (if not all) didn't originate there, but are being brought there, I guess partly to protect them from whatever environments they're being taken out of. Anyway, we "parked" the boat and followed a trail into the jungly island, and after a little walk, saw monkeys swinging on the trees, coming close to us in curiousity and hopes for a snack (I think they have visitors fairly often, so they know the drill). Several with me had treats to give them, and would often jump on people to get their snack. I didn't have anything to give, but I stayed crouched down most of the time to be closer to their level, and so they pretty much used me as a stair step to get up to the others, so I got climbed on a lot! So much fun!Well, another book down, hopefully starting A Divine Romance tomorrow. I'm not sure where I put it, so we'll see.
I went to and watched a softball game tonight, which was fun but sad because "we" lost pretty
badly (like that Lindsay?--I said "badly" rather than "bad"). The game was sandwiched between two hang-out/catch-up times with two good friends. I feel full, satisfied, content with life right now. More than that...I'm just so blessed. Thank You, Jesus. Tomorrow I go tubing down the Guadalupe River with a couple people I do know and more that I don't. Fun times, especially because I'm not usually one to jump on with fairly spontaneous events like this. Should be exciting!So much for being quick...it took longer than I thought it would. Oh well. Good night, stars... good night, moon.
Me gustan las idiomas. ¿Y ustedes? :)

wow! trips to foreign lands, visiting with seldom seen friends, river adventures...lots of material to write about in your classes next semester! :-D I've been so busy getting used to being married and keeping up with related business that I haven't decided yet on whether I'll be taking classes. Probably not at this point, at least not a regular, full semester class, but we'll see.
