I know I promised pointy hats, but instead I give you Troy’s amazing pictures.
At the very beginning of the tour, the tour guide gestured off to the left to a dusty patch with a couple of trees and bushes and said, “There is the most important structure of the entire place.” It was the waterway, two feet wide and two feet deep and moving a LOT of water. I knew right away that I would like him, because I like practical information. There was water running and fountains splashing everywhere.
I am finally getting all my technical difficulties sorted out. I got all of Troy’s pictures downloaded with zero tears and zero screaming and Troy only offered once to buy me a new computer that is a PC and not a MAC. He is very sweet to think something new will solve my problems. You will all be shocked at my bull-headedness, but I set my computer to have everything in Spanish. Every menu, every option, every webpage. I have set is all back to English and I have this amazing feeling of having my life back and having it go at normal speed instead of toddler speed. Troy suggested I buy a new computer rather than that I set it back to English. I am so lucky to have such a supportive husband.
These are working farms. Alhambra farmer is probably a nice government job to have with paid vacations.
