When we arrived in San Cristobal, we had taken an overnight bus from Campeche. We checked into a hostal, ravenous, and went to the kitchen for breakfast. They said breakfast was at eight, and we walked off, bewildered, because our watches said it was eight. After a couple more incidents, we figured we must have gone through a time zone in the night, and dutifully set our watches. It wasn´t until a couple bouts of confusion coordinating with people in the U.S that we realized we had in fact not gone through a time zone, we just went through daylight savings time, as had the US!
I say this because it has come to my attention that yesterday was not Thanksgiving, as we had all believed. I hope that we´ve at least understood the results of the presidential election coreectly.

The results of the election were truly awesome. There is hope for the United States again, but only if we can pull ourselves out of the coming recession/depression.

Aftr you do social work in Central America, you can come back and do social work up here.

Have a very, very wonderful time. -- Adele

Somehow I missed this one - I am sitting here laughing out loud on the day after Christmas, thinking of you celebrating Thanksgiving a whole week early! Just goes to show, it doesn't really matter. Love, Aunt Patty H.
