Estamos descansando

Hello everyone,

Several of you have asked for a mailing address for our apartment in Mexico. Our address is:
Karsten and Gretchen V_____
Atencion: Hotel Casa Vieja
en la Chalet
Calle Ma. Adelina Flores No. 27
San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico 29230

Mail is kind of a gamble around here, but we have been able to receive a small package and a letter with few problems.

Nola is celebrating her 4th birthday on Feb 10 (and Marcie on Feb 22) and would love a simple card---or email!


Other updates:

We have been the recipients of some incredible hospitality in the last week--and we'll write more about that in the next few days. But here are a few pictures that you might like to see.


First of all, we took a wonderful walk at the Huitepec Nature Reserve, a cloud forest outside of San Cristobal:


Second, we took an overnight trip to Ocosingo to see some dear friends, worship at a new church, tour a medical clinic in progress--and make new friends, too:




Finally, we took some great pics of the girls--one of which I couldn't resist sharing:





With love,

K, G, N and M
