Once upon a time...

During the wee hours of the morning, the unbearably loud ringing of cow bells disrupted Meg, Katie and Delaney from their precious slumber. There was indeed a moolicious cow right outside of the bunkroom! After tossing several rocks to shoo it away, they were able to return to their beds.

Later that day, after completing daily chores at Rancho el Camino, Katie, Meg, and Delaney had the privilege of tasting rattlesnake, fried to perfection by infamous Abram. After much contemplation, the girls came to the conclusion that the meat did truly taste like chicken!

In addition to these adventures, in the afternoon, they made a perilous trek to the best coffee shop in the world: "Cafe Exquisito." What better to refresh the palate in the middle of the desert, than a mouth-watering frappe!?

Colby went to Casa Buena.

Back to the girls! After their relaxing pitstop, they headed off to the grocery store to collect items for a secretive, birthday surprise.

The girls slept peacefully that night after running around until exhaustion during VBS that evening.

The End.

La Primera Semana!!!

Hola everyone! Wow it is hard to believe that we have already been at the Rancho El Camino for a whole week.  So much has happened!! The first few days we were just relaxing. We went to the beach to snorkel, hung out on the ranch, went horseback riding, and went to the Malacon (the boardwalk downtown La Paz).  Delaney, Colby and I went rollerblading with Frank (another intern) and Sam Gatto.  It was fun but scary because we had to watch out for all the people walking!  Wednesdy through Saturday we worked on chores around the ranch and taking care of the animals or whatever Peter wanted us to do.  We normally work from 8 am to 1 pm and then we hang out until after dinner when we do our Bible study.Today we went to El Faro (the lighthouse) church.   I really enjoyed the spanish songs and I was surprised at how much of the service I could uderstand.  After church the locals gave us tomales and tried to speak to us in English!! It was really fun. I miss everyone a lot, but I love serving God here on the Ranch!!

Love, Katie
