Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

---

Well, I was supposed to be on the chinchilla ranch again, but no, Im not there. Anyway, like I said, I got looped into judging a spelling bee contest, and that got moved to today. Why? Well, the city employees are on strike, which includes teachers, and so... well I dont know... but it got moved to today because of that. So Im just hanging in Illapel.

Im trying to upload all of my pictures so that people may go through them if they like. Also because Im running out of room on my camera... I wish I had more pictures for today!

Ill give you the address when I figure it out.

What else? I went to the market today. Which is always a good time. Shoes, nexts to toys, next to old stuff, next to clothes, next to fresh fruit and vegetables, next to nuts, next to spices. I love the spice stands... just big bins full of spices. It smells wonderful. All local!

I{m also going to have a good meal in town today! Yipee! That will be my thankgiving.

love you all
Kelly

Illapel. Well, I guess it was some special day for the kids or something because they were all dressed up. I was sitting on the edge reading in the square, and the kicked me out so they could run around!
