Hi Colly!
I was just reading the Bariloche chocolate part. When I got to the part about the Marzipan, I turned to my mom and asked if she like Marzipan. Guess what? She LOVES it! I never tried one when I was there but I will next time. But they have good chocolates!
Have Fun,
Claire

Colly,

As frustrating as the computer snafus must be (I can’t even watch your clips, because I don’t have quicktime–I’ll try later on my laptop), I really don’t mind because your writing is so incredibly visual. I feel that I can see everything just from the way you describe it, and your (quickly becoming trademark) opening ‘in scene’ is such fun to read because you really put your reader there in the car with you.

I got an email from your mom that says she kicked butt in her recent marathon (no surprise there!), and she mentioned that you and Kyle had a day more or less on your own. How was that? I know that you had a ‘babysitter’ (not that you really need one), but I’m curious how it felt to have a little independence and distance from your folks there in a foreign country. What did you guys do? Did the person staying with you speak English? How is your Spanish coming along? Please write more as I LOVE reading your blog!

Much love,

Uncle David

P.S. We’ve had almost two feet of snow here (it’s gorgeous), and that new stove your folks helped us install has been running day and night–it’s great! A real improvement on the old stove. Plus, not only will it hold its heat overnight (no more waking up to a cold cabin), because of the glass front, the flames cast a lovely glow in the evenings.

Colly,

Your trip sounds AWESOME! Well, everything but the chocolate and losing movies. You’re a really good writer. You should keep doing it! Maybe we’ll see you in Piedmont when we come to visit next June – if you’re back?

Love, Daphne and Sloane Valen (4th grade)
