Amy, Olivia, and some friends visit an art show at a private residence.

Gus and I had our own adventure.

Before the adventure, always make sure that you have enough fuel.













The driver in front knows a short cut. Though the desert, over the mountains, down the arroyos.













A small ranch along the way.












We made it.

David, Gus and I were invited to one of the local fairs. We drove over an hour on very remote terrain to get here. We were the only Americans

Gus working on a homework assignment. Using the same lap top that we have been blogging and skyping on. Our Skype name is NortonFamily2010 it only works when we have a internet connection.

Olivia and Dad come back from school and tacos.

Looking through the tidal pools in La Ventana.

El Cardone (catcus), can you find the moon.

Gus and Olivia watching a video with new friends.

Somehow these photos are in reverse order. This is the end product of our cooking class.

Preparation for a cooking class.

Beside spanish lessons Amy and I are taking cooking lessons. Today we made Chile Rellenos con pollo. We were told some of the family secret recipes.

This may seem hard to believe but Olivia today won the grand prize of a new kite and bar set up. After yesterday Gus won a new board in a raffle
Here she is with our friend Patrick celebrating. There were several thousand tickets in the raffle for this one. It was a moment to see.

This is what a kite event looks like.

Today was the big air expo for the event in La Ventana.
This guy is at least 40 ft in the air.

Gus take a lesson on a Honda 70 from our good friend Jason Clack.
This bike was built in 1970. Older then me by one year. Gus picked up the basics quick.

Today Gus won the top raffle drawing of a brand new Board.

Hope it's windy tomorrow.

The winds have come back to la Ventana. Time to kite.

So what more is there to say about the beauty of La Ventana ....
