Flat Hattie Arrives in Guanajuato




Mark and I were thrilled to welcome our first visitor from Idaho today: Flat Hattie, the alias of our niece, Hattie. Hattie's elementary school class is exploring the world by sending their aliases to far-off places. Flat Hattie was tired when she arrived because it took her 19 days to travel from Boise, Idaho, U.S.A., to Guanajuato, Guanajuato, México, by parcel post - so we took her for a short walk down the street Callejón Temezcuitate to buy a coca-cola and some galletas (cookies) at the neighborhood tienda. She made friends with Norma, who is just a few years older than her. Now Flat Hattie is resting. We have a big day planned for her tomorrow.
