Hello,

Our plans changed and we are still in Ensenada waiting for warm weather and calm seas before we continue north at the end of April. We did rent a car over Easter weekend to visit family in California. It felt strange to be driving a car, being in the USA, and it was wonderful to see our loved ones again.

Paula and most of her sisters. Elena is missing,

probably chopping firewood or driving her tractor.


We all met at Windtree where Elena has a retreat

center. A lot of her land was destroyed by a huge

fire last year, but it was still beautiful and we were

all together.

Hand painted eggs. There were some artist among us.
