Camas's Birthday

Camas had the best birthday yet since she was 12 (so she claims).  We rode bikes out to Poña Point and walked down to the cliffs. First thing, right off the bat, Noé spots a sea turtle  -  the same one he saw the day before at the exact same time!  He was just sticking up his head and floating in the rough waves.

Next, I look out and see a brownish figure amongst the waves - turns out to be a huge shark!  We tried to get photos, but the waves were too rough to show his shape for too long.  We kept our eye on him for quite a while as he made his way up the coastline, then came back.

This week has been really hot, barely sprinkling any water on us.  My students in Spanish love the days when Noé comes in to speak Spanish with them, also to play games.  He'll be coming in on Monday to chat about his life and also with each student individually, about the timelines they made for their own lives.

We have a softball game tomorrow at 2:30 (Sunday), and today we might ride out to swimming hole.  Currently, we are listening to our friend, Raul, via internet radio.  He's set up a "station" at his house, and broadcasts via internet from 6-9pm every night.  You can listen in at: http://98.247.69.25:8000/listen.m3u

We are missing Seattle and the beginnings of spring, especially SPRING BREAK! (which doesn't exist here). We have to wait until Easter for 2 days off.
