The black hair is looking spiffy. I give it a universal thumbs up.

Travel on, good peregrinate chum!

You are becoming more Spanish/Columbian every day. I am not sure I will recognize you upon your return. How is your gringo Spanish? Your hair looks, Wow! Best to you in your Amazon adventure. What a world you are going into. I look forward to hearing all about it and vicariously savoring it.

Love, Dad

Hey Zachary,

I want your life! Well, maybe not the black hair…It sounds like you are adventuring in high gear. How will we keep you down on the cove now that you’ve seen the Amazon? And what the heck is spelunking? I’ll check back for the next installment.

All is well in beautiful Farrer Cove. The weather is fantastic although the water has been a little chilly for swimming the past few days. Shades of Fall creeping in? Tony and I are soon off on a kayaking adventure in Haida Gwaii. Another magical place that you must add to your travel list.

Take care and keep safe. Lynda

Hi Friend,

I believe it is your birthday! Although it is not quite your birthday in your hometown timezone and, as you are a world citizen, I find it fitting to wish you a birthday where YOU are - in spite of where your roots may lie. Anyhow, I wish you a a year bountiful with opportunity, showered with personal growth and expansive experience, and of course, many interactions with me! Haha…but really, I hope you are having the best time enjoying your surroundings (DC, right now?); I am certain that your inner warmth is having such a positive influence. Zach, you accept life so gracefully, thank you for being an inspiration to me. Hope to see you soon!

Love,

Isaac

Ps: alas, it is your birthday here now, also! So happy double birthday!
