Dear Charly,

You are an excellent teacher. I hope you take your health because I want to have you with us many times. I like your conversation class because you talk about interesting themes.

                            Thanks!

Dear Journal,

I've lived in Vallarta for 5 months now, to the date. This is an amazing world. Today I walked down the River Caule and found Birria soup. Yum. I met a lady who has lived here for 4 years. She lives on a ranch past Buenas Aires and past the other colonia in the valley. She lives without electricity. She is free. Sometimes, I think it would be a dream come true if I could be on Survivor. I think, after 5 months of living in Vallarta and after 19 seasons of Survivor, I can finally say, I don't need to live on an island for 39 days to live a dream. I have found it, instead, here in Vallarta. That's how I feel today. That's how I feel now.

As always, writing to you from the beach...
