Yesterday we saw Samuel and Ben off at the bus station, where they were going to ride through the night to Quito, to catch a flight this morning back to Albuquerque via Houston. Just a little while ago we got a chat message from Ben that he had safely reached White Rock, so we expect that in another couple of hours we should hear from Samuel as well. It is always a relief to hear from them that they made it back fine.
Ben did note that they arrived in Quito at about 1:00 a.m., which was a couple of hours earlier than we expected. The bus evidently made very good time. Then the plane didn't leave until 7:45, rather than the 6:45 that was originally scheduled. Thus, they had a rather long wait at the airport, but that sure beats missing a flight.
Susan is starting to teach piano lessons, which is a real challenge as she is probably learning more Spanish than her students are playing the piano, but as long as everyone is making progress, it should turn out OK. We have borrowed an electronic keyboard so that they actually have something to take lessons on.
I should also note here that Samuel is writing science fiction in his spare time, and he has posted a few of his short stories at
underfallingskies.blogspot.com
if anyone reading this cares to take a look. He says that his site doesn't get much traffic, so any visitors are welcome.
