I took a trip with about 50 high school kids to San José and Cabo de Gata in Almería this past Friday.

WOW!
Great hearing from you Jimmy. The vistas are beautiful here. Thanks so much for sharing them! So it sounds like you are still teaching English at a high school, where? In Spain somewhere. Have you been back to the states, or had visitors there? Does school go year round, or do you have time off to travel to other wonderful places. Here at St. Camillus, Mike is taking a Habitat group to Africa in the spring to build . . . expanding out of central America to another continent! I heard the trip was practically full! Sounds exciting, but awfully far from home. I currently have a student from Spain. I would love to show her these pictures! Thanks for keeping me on the mailing list! I love hearing from you when you write! Nancy PS Vicky has a little baby girl now! Adorable.

WOW ditto
Looks like you had a great day. Your pictures are really good. What would we do without digital cameras? Hope your year is going well. I'm doing well, but I don't know when I'll get to Whitesboro again. Your mom keeps us informed on things at home. Malcolm
