"It's never easy to leave this land of smiling faces and huge hearts. With that always present touch of sadness I once again said my farewells to families past and present, friends made over the years and another truly wonderful group of SOL students. The early morning fog enshrouded us as we drove by the labourers in the fields and headed north to the border. The sun broke as we were coming through the mountains leaving the valley's mist covered. After the dreaded stop at the border (the border guy got mad at me 'cause I invaded his 'space') we headed for lunch along the boardwalk in San Diego. Beautiful sunshine, amazing 'art' (a Palm tree made from leaf rakes!), good food - but the need to hit the road again - cut our R&R time short. A stop before the 'grapevine' yielded a gorgeous sunset and a snow free drive over the pass has put us here in Bakersfield CA for the night. A 8 am start will come all to soon. Please Dear Lord, keep my heart ready to touch as you taught me over these last eight days - wherever you take me. Blessed to be a blessing! But having received far more than I gave! Another Mexican journey comes to an end:):( Papa Les"
