Suitcase weary/ travel update

We have been more than a month living like gypsies from one place to another. Our thanks to brother John and wife Bev for allowing us to stay at their house while Daniel finished up some final reporting for SVRC. Then a couple of weeks with my parents. Fishing anyone??? Daniel and I love to fish and fishing off the little paddle boat was fun as well as off the pontoon. We always enjoy the lake not just for the fishing, but also for the breathtaking sunsets and quiet reflection time it affords us. Of course, being with my parents has been a good time as well. Now after a grueling trip to Delaware in the heat and with our car bulging with suitcases, we are with Andres. On our way out here we enjoyed the Amish country and went through Carlisle where MIguel will be teaching, saw the house and the college. With Andy we will be going there on Wednesday to help unpack the U-haul. So our last day in the States will be with at least two of our children, helping with the turning of a corner in Miguel's life - the long awaited time of becoming a professor. He and Kate have enjoyed time in Chicago getting ready for the wedding and now for a time it's getting back to finishing dissertations and preparing academically for both of them
Yesterday with Andres we went to NY. We saw so much in one very hot day. Times Square, UN Building, Statue of Liberty, walked part of the Brooklyn Bridge, and even rode the subway. I'm glad I had the experience of NY but one day was enough! The noises and sights of the city were overwhelming in one sense. You really can't appreciate the melting pot concept unless you see it in action in such a large city.
This morning went to the Lutheran Church next to Andy's building and appreciate the opportunity to take part in communion and reflect on Christ, the Bread of Life.
This week to Carlisle and next stop - BOLIVIA
