Facebook

I just came from facebook where I had two conversations simultaneously….one with Wayan in Bali (I wrote about him in the nomad book and we are still good friends. He’s a great guide if any of you are headed to Bali or if you are a tour company looking for a local guide. His English is excellent and he plays guitar and sings as well…and he just got married and is serious about employment.  www.wayansukerta@yahoo.com). He’s the one who said I was “unbalanced” when I kept falling in the mud in the rice fields at night. The other conversation was with a reader, Anne Marie. I just kept clicking back and forth. Far out. I often don’t do chats on Facebook….but this time the timing was right.

I’m still in Todos Santos, Mexico. Today I set about building a Christmas tree. I figured i needed a frame….so I made a teepee with thrown away bamboo. I even put horizontal twigs to hold it together. The next step will be to attach small branches of leaves and create a tree we can decorate. But all those branches!  All that tying. I’m thinking it will be a lot easier to make a teepee with a sheet. My creation may never reach treedom!

Grandson Cris arrives tomorrow. This is his vacation home. He’d probably like a teepee better than a Christmas tree anyhow!!   Ciao.
