Chela!!! Thank you so much for camera. It is the best wedding gift I could
have asked for. I have been using
it quite a bit lately and I will post pictures to my blog. Things are wonderful. You will love marriage once you find
the right man. We are settled into
the house now. Juan Pedro wants me
to wait before I start rearranging things; I understand that he just wants me
to settle in. I will make the
house “ours” soon enough. On
the way to Seguín we crossed over a beautiful creek that Juan Pedro pointed out
to me, he called it La Gritona. At
first I thought that “woman hollering” was quite a silly name for a creek, but
now I am curious about the name. I
wonder why she was hollering…was she angry or in pain?
I met a couple of the neighbor ladies last week. They are nice. One is a widow. I don’t know much about her late husband
though. The other neighbor is
Dolores. She lost both her sons in
the last war and is a widow now.
Poor woman. I have no idea
what I would do without my husband and can’t imagine what it would feel like to
loose him. I tried to ask the
ladies if they knew anything about the name of the river but neither of them
could remember. I guess I will
just have to interpret the meaning for myself. Here is a picture of the river…
Love,
Cleofílas
