NEWS FROM SPAIN
I am excited because my friends in Spain have received my email and replied! We are in contact once again. From an earlier post, you'll recall that I reached out to my former exchange student host family with whom I have not spoken in about 15 years. After waiting a few weeks, I began to suspect they don't actually read their email or maybe my email went into their SPAM filter or... perhaps they didn't want to talk to me. Fortunately, they were simply on vacation and responded when they got back -- with much excitement at hearing from me. I have dusted off my Spanish dictionary and wrote back. This is all very exciting.
While digging through digital photos in order to select a few and email them to the Spanish family, I stumbled across this wonderful picture that a stranger took of Lorinda and me at the top of Mt. Adams in the summer of 2006. What a spectacular day, and a spectacular view of Mt. Rainier behind us:

How cool you were able to reconnect. I have a few friends who I haven't been able to chat with in a long time that I'd love to find these days. Kudos to you for reaching out!
