Hopping in the van, we headed for home while a small contingent took a detour to the “Indiana Jones Bridge” on the way. The bridge, thus titled due to its sketchy construction, is a suspension bridge for walkers and cyclists. It spans the main river in Hualahuises, and is not in use much any more due to the recent construction of a new (and sturdier) bridge. Then new bridge is anchored to cement, instead of cabled to trees, and is wider, accommodating more traffic.
Marvelous smells of Zelina’s cooking wafted from the kitchen, greeting us as we arrived back at the house. Since the food wasn’t quite ready, some went directly for naps, others on walks. Jamie, Leanne, and I went for a run around the nearly 3-mile loop that starts and ends at the De Hoyos hacienda. Grateful for the bit of “sister time” in between the busy-ness, we chatted the whole way, stopping to greet the other walkers and runners we saw. Goodness! I didn’t know Hualahuises was so fitness-savvy!!
Kriss has a new job teaching for a 2 and 4 year old. Every weekday from 1-5 she runs classes in their home. We met her students when they came out to the clinic at the church on Tuesday. They are so cute!! The family who employs her also allows her use of their laptop, an Apple ibook. Kriss wanted some help knowing how to navigate a mac, and we worked a while on customizing her desktop, and just enjoying each other’s company. Because she was in school in Dallas for so long, we had been missing her during our recent trips. This trip has been good for re-connecting, especially for me. Kriss and I are the same age, and have similar personalities.
One of the traditions we began years ago is baking tasty treats, sharing some of our favorite cookie and dessert recipes. Tonight, the gang baked 7-layer bars, dubbed “Seven Sins” bars by Mr. DeHoyos. Delish!
