Ann's First Post


Dear Family and friends,

My first blog.  We have had a wonderful first 4 days here  It is warm for us and we are perspiring in our lined jackets.  The Santa Marians are in jackets and long sleeves. 

The food is so good and the barbecue is plentiful and very good meats.  They serve food like we serve at home.  Potato salad, fruit salad, omelet and lots of chocolate.

The others have told you about our tours.  We were at a school today in a low income part of Santa Maria.  The director is a wonderful woman who is a true entrepreneur.  She has formed partnerships with the Rotaract club and with other federal entities.  She has a heart as large as outdoors.  She is dedicated to her 78 students.

This experience is so fulfilling.  We are meeting a society that is warm and accepting.  They are happy to speak English with us if it is a language they know.  They want to practice their English with us.

The team is doing so very well and show a good face for our countries.

Talk more later,

Ann
