Been back a fortnight though it seems longer. Though not, as some have suggested, back to "reality". Hate to be picky but only returned to our reality.
Plenty of memories stored away: the kindnesses of Pedro and Mirella during our stay; their little boy Jordan teasing Susan with a baby bird he`d found - until he realised, to his amazement, that she really was scared; the dozens of children we met and worked with; the turtles swimming round our boat off the Isla de la Plata; the beach on our last evening at Puerto Lopez; Arturo`s big smile; humming birds around the breakfast table; Mindo Lava Cake (never did explain - a kind of fantastic chocolate "mousse").......could go on and on.
And of course there`s Paolo Santo: light a small piece and the scent takes you straight back.
Meanwhile we`ll do our best to maintain contact and to that end will be investigating the notion of "twinning" libraries as well as the logistics of sending more books out....not to mention trying to encourage as many other people as possible to go out and see for themselves. Go on. Why not? :)
