Hike

Marilyn made French toast this morning; even I liked it and I normally don’t like it (I think she added a lot of cinnamon). While others were teaching today, I washed the large bin of dirty dishes – man we use a lot! This afternoon we all went for a walk to find this crevasse that Michael and Ezra had seen on their walk on Monday. On the way, there was a stick (bamboo?) so Ezra and Mike put it on their shoulders and Mindy hung off it like a tied pig. I’m sure the person who passed by thought that us white people are crazy. We passed a couple of young kids on the path herding goats and cattle. The path then lead down to a creek and we could see the kids come partway down the path to watch us. I’m not sure how private property works here butu we passed through a small farm (with lots of great veggies) and soon afterward noticed a fire in the small area. Hopefully no one thought that the white people passing through cause the fire. We did find the crevasse. It is just a split in the earth and it looks like a partial arroyo (deep ditch formed by heavy rains in dry climates) with a beginning. I’d like to know what cause the crevasse to form there. Was it the underlying geology or something else. To avoid the fire on the way back, we struck out in the general direction of Marilyn’s house. In the end, we made a loop as we found the road that passes through the village and connects to the road the school (and her house) is on.

Yesterday Mindy mentioned something to the effect of wanting alfredo. Today, we had pasta and I surprised her by making alfredo sauce using the parmesan cheese. Both it and the red sauce turned out delicious. For dessert, we had Bucket-o-chocolate. But some of it needs to cook longer. Oh well, it was chocolate.
