I'm looking forward to seeing you on a camel! Love, Dad |

| 16th June 2008 KelseyRamage | - From: La Huelga yes, it is absolutly safe and I think it is ending now..I am not sure though! |
| 13th June 2008 Aunt Carol | Huelgas - From: La Huelga Hi Sweetie! Wow, that would be fascinating to be in the middle of a strike, but it's scary, too - for you, for your Spanish friends and for your family thinking about you there! And how frustrating to not be able to do anything to help/solve the problem. I do love reading your entries and the photos are wonderful! Keep it up!! :-) Tell your Spanish friends we will be keeping all of you in our prayers. Love, Aunt Carol |
| 13th June 2008 Mom | La Huelga - From: La Huelga Hi Kelsey, what an experience for you to have first hand - we tend to be so insulated here in the US - so I am glad for you having this opportunity - okay, I am still your mom - is it safe to be out and about? love you Mom |
| 10th June 2008 mom | Beach - From: La Playa You are so adventuresome - how fun! Do you have pics of the Beach?? Love you - Mom |
| 9th June 2008 Aunt Sue | Finally got it! - From: La Boca de Pesca (Fish's Mouth) Hey Kelsey! I finally figured out "ja ja"...I am a little slow on the uptake! Fun to read and see pictures! We had a great time with your family in Arizona, and get to see them again in a couple of weeks! I am so excited about this experience you are having...thank you for taking the time to share it with all of us! Love you sweetie! Aunt Sue |
| 7th June 2008 Margee | Yum! - From: La Boca de Pesca (Fish's Mouth) I love the description of the origin of tapas. I didn't know that. Tapa definitely means to cover. When Sara was learning English she used to say "topper it" from her Spanish instead of "put the lid on" - much more efficient, I think. I can't wait to try the tapas with you. By the time we get there you'll know all the best places! And the views are spectacular. Keep sending the photos, I love them! |
| 7th June 2008 KelseyRamage | Olives y Hannah - From: :-) I can't wait to see Hannah and Sara and Margee and Mama June! AND the olives here taste great! |
| 6th June 2008 Aunt Cindy | - From: :-) Hi Niece! It's my last day of school and I'm proctoring a bio final. It's been awesome reading your blog and picturing all of the exciting things you've seen and done while my kids struggle with a test! It sounds like you will learn so much about spanish history and culture. I can't wait for Hannah to come visit. Maybe it'll inspire her to do something similar when she's in college. Thanks for the updates! I'll miss you at the wedding... Aunt Cindy |
| 6th June 2008 mom | Hola Hijita - From: :-) Hi querida - we have so much fun getting these updates - you know your mommy, she likes to imagine what you are up to! Anyway, keep them coming. How are the olives? Do You get to eat different varieties? love you- mom |

And yay for yummy food! I laughed at the Obama part. But I have to tell you - Ross and I went and saw him give his speech in St. Paul the other night. It was pretty much amazing.

| 30th May 2008 June Ramage Rogers | Cafe - From: Café Hi Kelsey: I love cafe com leite Brazilian style and that must be what you are drinking. Yum is right!
