Phone calls are better than emails!!

Guillermo called this afternoon, and it was so nice to hear his voice. It's so much better to hear him, hear him laugh, all the things that you can't get with an email. We talked a long time about how the day went, how today he walked along the shore of the Pacific Ocean, and either tomorrow or the day after, they'll be on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean, in Puerto Madryn. Evidently both he and Fernando were a little disappointed with Chiloe Park - but both of them seem to be in good spirits. Fernando commented that it's a good thing they both enjoy birdwatching, because Chiloe Park would have been a total disappointment otherwise. As usual, it was difficult hanging up with Guillermo, but at least we got to talk to each other!

Back at home, I've been removing plants from our two greenhouses for probably over a week now and even though the greenhouses are emptier, there are still TONS of plants still left to take out. Instead of placing them strategically around our yard, they are all going under 3 different trees, and will stay that way until we get back. We haven't had much rain here, but the flowers in our yard are beautiful!! We've got poppies, daffodils, irises, and roses blooming now, and the sweet-smelling jasmine and honeysuckle are just starting to come out!!
