As I mentioned I had to watch my traveling buddy's leave :[ We had so much fun together so many adventures. probably could have done with out. But it worked out ok in the end. So I went for another tour of the printery. One of the sisters we met in Salta, her son and nephew work in the factory. The nephew works on the electronics of the press, and her son mattias works at the end of the line boxing stuff up. Which they are in shambles right now awaiting a new machine. Oh boy new toys. For lunch we had some tasty pasta and of course wine to go with it. For the rest of the day i took my siesta and went to a cafe to check on my flights. Back to Bethel for Dinner and the family watchtower study. They sing really loud very cool just like our annual pioneer meeting. Ken and Wendy study there watchtower's in three languages. The meeting is in Spanish but they have there English watchtower. From that they go to Pinyin Chinese. WoW alot of work. At the end they interviewed to new bethelites. I went with mattias to his room there i met Walter who has been to Connecticut. Even to our hall 3 years ago only the Spanish congregation. Very cool he remembered it by our lovely frog bridge. From there we went to someone room for food and association. Then to my room to leave for the airport at 4 in the morning. So the first 1/4 of my trip home went good 5 hr flight sleeping all the way. now awaiting my next flight for Ecuador. maybe they will let me in the country for a night for my long layover. See ya all soon.

Wow Mike! I was confused because it said the traveling gnome was posting and you were not using all caps!

Thanks for the encouraging bethel update and photos!

It will be good to see you back in CT again. :)

It would appear that you (dan) never logged out of mikes computer when posting. Thats why he was able to post as you. :-)
