Salamanca in the rain

A slightly cold and wet maundy thursday in plaza mayor.

UPDATE:  The weather for our trip to Salamanca didn't go the way we planned. We did see Bella's friend Elsa Fuentes- the whole point for the trip.  But we ended up walking around in the rain for the most part.

The most interesting side note: Completely unplanned, we stayed at a hotel right next door to the school where Bella taught English back in the early 1990's.  At that time, the school was on the outskirts of town, and nothing but the bus station across the street was around.

She arrives!

Dorothy Wijnanda Park has finally arrived. A healthy, petite (6lb, 7 oz) baby was born at 1:18 pm today, 28th of June. Baby and mother are both recovering from the delivery at Kingston Hospital in fine form. The first Park female on this branch of the family in 5 generations gets her name from my grandmother (Dorothy M. Baetcke Park) and a relative on Bella's side (Isabella Dorothea Akers). And also inherits Bella's middle name. Any advice on coping with daughters is heartily welcomed by the father.
