A Little More from Jon

Another e-mail had this description of activity in the town where Jon is right now, "There is a festival going on locally (started yesterday), it has a name, but I can't remember it. Anyway, it's basically a moonshine festival, all the local distilleries (private/family or public/corporate) showcase their hard core stuff. It is theoretically mind-blowing, I'm not going to touch the stuff, but some folks tried it out. There are also local fairs (with little carnival rides exactly the same as the rides I've seen in the States), and what appear to be swap meets and local once-a-week markets and such. This is quite a diverse town, and you don't have to go too far to get beyond the "suburbs" into agricultural communities."


Joshua and I had an enjoyable Sunday. After church we stopped at Costco for a hot dog lunch (the best deal in town even if it is not the healthiest). We finished reading "The Silver Chair" together -- me reading while Joshua played in the fort he built in the living room Friday afternoon. Then we took a bike ride out through the "country" portion of San Juan and stopped for a frozen yogurt along the way. The weather was perfect -- California fall -- I love it.
