November in the United States

Volunteer Denise relaxing aboard 'Estrella del Lago' as we head for the swimming beach.


Lourdes and I are heading north to the USA for all of the rest of November.  We have a new grandchild, Rowan Stevens in Asheville North Carolina who we will be meeting for the first time.  We plan to offer baby-sitting services to his mom Betsy and dad Lief so they can go out on the town while we are visiting.

We leave our Waldorf educational and social project Estrella de Sauce in the capable hands ofour wonderful volunteers Mercedes who comes from Pucallpa, Peru, Miriam who is from Cologne, Germany and Denise from near Hamburg in northern Germany.


Mercede is a trainee Waldorf teacher and an expert in Shipibo embroidery.


We all went out for a last sail, swim and kayak messabout on Monday after which I prepared our 33 foot sailing catamaran 'Estrella del Lago' for our month away by removing all loose gear such as sails, motor etc and tying her up with extra ropes as November tends to have strong winds on the lake.

We will arrive in the US on November 7, right before what pomises to be a wierd and interesting presidential election.
