LaPaz day 7

The Secret Garden

Lilly had come home from yesterday's luncheon wiped out and feverish.  She slept through the night - getting oils on her forehead and tummy.  Both kids were feeling good today.  Last night Matt took our dirty laundry to the laundry business across the street.  We went to her last time we were here and she does an amazing job.  She charges by the basket full and works dutifully on stains.  We got those clothes back today - ah, it feels refreshing to put them on.  Mixed with a nice warm shower is delightful.

 

Several couples headed to the airport today, but quite a few are still around too.  Today was scheduled to be a beach day for us, with the Johnson family.  The weather (60's, windy, and rainy)changed the plans slightly.  Matt, Micah, Pete, and their intern (Ryan) still headed to the beach about 1pm, but all the girls decided to stay at Casa Beuna to play and then take a large group of us to a restaurant named "The Secret Garden".  Wow, what a place for kids to play.  We were still outside, so we all had our jackets on, but it was a neat playground (animals of all kinds included) for the kids.
 

Card Game - Golf

When we returned to Casa Beuna everyone basically stuck around and we played cards for hours.  The kids played some more outside and then watched a movie in the palapa.  Even though the conference is over many are just not ready to be done.  They are a big happy family when they are together.  They do a great job including us in on that!
