Good night to all...

Last night was a great night to be a Cochabambino. Aurora, one of the Cochabamba soccer teams, won the national championship! Yea Aurora! (although in the Bull house we don't have any particular team affiliations, we were excited that a Cochabamba team won!) So you can imagine the fireworks and car honking that went on into the wee hours of the morning... but it wasn't so annoying, knowing that they were being done in celebration of something great instead of in protest of something awful! Then about 10 o'clock we got a wonderful wonderful rain. I was sitting back on our bed working on some needlepoint and I heard the beautiful sound of steady rain. Cochabamba is not famous for it's rain... Usually in Cochabamba this time of year we just get 5 or 10 minute showers, but last night it was a long steady rain. So I fell asleep with our bedroom door cracked to the breeze and sound of fresh rain. Talk about a good night's sleep! This morning brought beautiful sunshine with clear skies... less smog and dust throughout the city thanks to the rain, fresh pastries at my favorite bakery (totally worth making the trip to Cochabamba just for this bakery... besides the fact that you'd be coming to see us :), errands run, and a currently napping baby, leaving me time to blog and start on lunch... now that's my kind of day :)

    We were sitting at a table in Santa Cruz with the Collins family at a restaurant and this game was on the T.V. there. The place was packed! Every time Aurora made a good move we were getting excited. We decided that we had better keep quiet seeing as the majority (if not all the other) diners were cheering for the other team.

    So good to hear that you had a good nights sleep. It makes all the difference in the world.

    Oh, and you are going to have to tell me what your favorite bakery is.

    The only thing better would be to have had the opportunity to take s stroll in the rain with your boys.

    You do remember those times when we did that during your early years, dontcha? I assure you I do.

    Love,

    Dad

    Glad to know we're getting rain! I could hear, see and smell everything with you. Thanks for sharing.
