Dear Nicky and Dewi and those bestowed with a beautiful accent,
I'm here on San Cristobal Island, which is a 20 day sail from Hawai'i, and 3 months from Dover. It's a bit too hot for tea here, but today we taught in a school of excited children from ages 4-14. There were 60 of them, and a challenge to lead, especially in broken Spanish. I could have used some hula hoops and minstrels at the end of the day. But instead, I was able to celebrate our success in the classroom with a fresh squeezed glass of watermelon juice and plantain chips with my feet wet and sea lions barking obnoxiously all around, as they command the sand. Thinking of you and bringing latitudes together. I'll physically do it when I cross the equator next week, en route to Mindo and remember my time stradling the Greenwich Meridian.
Ciao... Jennifer xo
