Woke up to rain and overcast skies in Philly, after a few glorious days. Thought the weather was a perfect reflection of my mental state. The rain is so needed with the heat and drought we have been experiencing and the rain made it quite mellow and little melancholly. So like the weather I am excited about this needed adventure and anxious about my pending departure only a few hours away. I have all the essentials, I think. Electronics, books, itinerary, underwear and not nearly enough shoes on purpose.
Last night Lola asked me who is staying with me? I explained again the series of adults who are at her beck and call. This first round is her Papi, Jessica (the best au pair ever), and Aya (Lola's grandmother). After running through the list of caregiver, to this Lola responded "bueno". And I as I write this Lola just ran over to give me kiss.
My next entry will be from Santiago. I arrive Monday morning at 8:00am and have my first meeting at 11:00am at a recovery program from adults who are struggling with addictions. After a meeting with the director we are having lunch with the residents.
Hasta lluego,
Best Wishes and don't worry about Lola! She has all of Mt Airy watching over her.

My goodness, they aren't giving you a second to orient yourself after an extremely long flight and probably no sleep! The excitement begins! The time will fly. Lola and Roberto will indeed have many folks looking after them in your absence. Can't wait to read about your adventures and don't forget your promise of shoes/boots should you run across the perfect pair :) Size 7, please!
