What a Great Experience!
Dana, I'm envious! What a wonderful experience you are having! Congratulations on your curiosity, courage, and endurance. One day, I hope, I'll visit Belize. I'm not a scuba diver, but I am very interested in the natural wonders of the Belize coast and its interionr. And, of course, it would be great to meet people as interesting as those whom you've encountered! ba

Why?
How come you didn't ask me to go? I'm thinking I might be mad at you.

Mom's impression of Buenos Aires
I got to meet many of the folks that Dana's been writing about for the past month or so. Buenos Aires is not as scary or unsafe as I was led to believe. Its got a very European look to it, is bit on the gritty side, but people are shopping, shopping, eating everywhere. I am not sure how the society can support so many stores, bakeries, and restaurants, but people seem to enjoy the variety. The Hostel El Sol is housed in a 1890s building with Hotel El Sol on the corner, 2nd floor. It is a building built in the grand style of old Buenos Aires with tall ceilings, lots of steps, and an inner courtyard. Paul, the owner and proprieter, keeps his cool with the endless questions of recent visitors. The place itself is the classic funkiness of hostels anywhere--but the atmosphere was very special. I met Australians and Americans there, all of who were on some personal voyage or another. Dana's apartment with Tirzah and Sebi was in the Cabacillto neighborhood, a more residential area. That building was constructed in the 1950s with wood floors and balconies. Sebi is a 25 year old native to Buenos Aires, and he was immediately liked by a Mother, who of course is looking for sensible stable men for her daughter. We made a pasta dinner, discussed space science, and popular literature before going for ice cream, a passion for all Argentinians that I met! Dana's spanish is good enough to get by with most people on the streets, and she carries out a good conversation. As a parent, it's my opinion that the class was a good one, because very quickly the night life of Buenos Aires could eat you up! The contacts made during the class were important as well, and also the knowledge of how to teach English is something that can be used anywhere. I would agree with Dana that it will be good for them to get of town. Buenos Aires is a huge city, with many trees, but give me a stretch of greenery any time! I hope they enjoy the trip.

Dana! I'm so happy for you! I haven't had a chance to read your blogs till just now (school's been cracking its whip on me). You're having so much fun and that warms my heart. It makes me want to be there too--with no obligation but to live. How nice and invigorating it must be to live in such welcoming beauty!

Oh, that sounds so beautiful. Happy birthday my love, and remember there are no coincidences. Take advantage of everyone you meet. Find out what you need to learn from them and share with them anything you feel they need to learn from you.

Dear Dana, CONGRATULATIONS on your initiative, courage, and endurance! I'm a bit envious of you... I hope that some day I'll be able to visit Belize myself. I'm not a scuba diver, but I am interested in the natural wonders of the country, both offshore and inland. Warm regards, Tom O'Herron
