Ian and I are preparing to head to Peru March 3rd-- stopping the mail, cleaning the house and packing our suitcases with books and clothes. We will be in language school in Lima, Peru, for three months staying in an apartment, studying each weekday and visiting local churches on the weekends.
Catching one of those perfect clear Vermont days, we got in some cross country skiing on a beautiful Saturday in Saxton's River. Joe and Virginia drove up from NYC to join us for the weekend. We first watched the ski races at Vermont Academy where we were daunted by the ski jump and amused by the ski outfit of one of the skiers. Guided by our friends John and Mary Shepard, we skied on the trails behind the Academy. A perfect day! After a number of falls, we are fully aware of our fallibility. This prepares us well for learning a new language and facing challenges which may cause us to land face first and need a helping hand to get up off the ground. Here we go!
