We've been back for quite a while and I apologize for the lack of blogging. I've been busy writing essays on my other blog - Essays from the Heart - reached by clicking the link on the right side of this blog. This contains my ideas on Prison Reform and a lengthy essay on Parenting.
So we went through culture shock on getting back to the states. Everything moves sooooo fast and things have gotten noticeably more expensive. But we have been thriving thanks to the generosity of our friends. Ellen Troelszch was kind enough to loan us a car - a Lexus no less - during our stay and we are delighted to be travelling in such luxury. Many other friends have offered us a spare bedroom along the way. Thanks to all of you.
This is the Lexus. Cool, huh?We have been busy performing and opportunities just keep showing up. We did shows in Big Sur and Fresno so far and have one coming up next weekend here in Santa Cruz. It looks like it will be sold out well in advance. We didn't notice the improvement in our art since it happened gradually, but folks who haven't seen us for a while could tell the difference. After Santa Cruz, we will be going down to Southern California to visit more family and friends.
Here we were at the big Fin de Verano Fiesta at the house of Pilar Moreno - I'm singing to the guitar of Ethan Margolis with Marisol Fuentes looking on. I had a horrid cold and this was the only time I sang.Finally, before returning to Spain, we'll stop in North Carolina to visit even more family and friends. If you are reading this, I hope we got to spend time with you!
We stopped in Asheville, NC to visit son Tony, his wife Annette, and new grand-daughter Akilah.
We had so much fun with her!But we miss Spain and are looking forward to reconnecting with our friends there as well. So far, not many friends have come to take advantage of our tour guide services in Spain. Maybe next year??
