Hola Nieto,
Tenemos mucho gusto de escuchar 'las aventuras espanolas' de nuestro nieto. Me parece que toda esta muy agradabile contigo. Me busca [Dito] la viaje a las cuavas antiguas particularmente interesante. Que tu podia visitar todavia las cavernas originales era muy especial; creo que las en Francia ya no estan accesible. Gracias tambien para las cronicas de tu vida cotidiana [la comida, horario, etc.] ... son muy fascinante a nosotros. Te gusta las tapas... que clase hay?
Ayer termino la ultima programa de nuestro ano en el estado de Washington [no muy lejos de Pendleton]. Gracias a Dios que no tenemos mas haste Septiembre.
En quatro semanas regresaremos a Europa/Irlandia... y esperamos que te veremos... ojala que si! Sabes ya que estaras haciendo en el mes de Junio? y donde trabajaras en Espana?
Hasta luego, con amor y oraciones,
Abuelito y Abuelita 'Bend'
PS.
Since I have no idea what Dito has written to you, I want to thank you for the wonderful adventure of your daily routine. It sounds charming. I hope you are just settling in to a wonderful life in Espana. We are as usual busy here and wishing for some warm weather. I think this year we will have snow on the 4th of July. More later. Know you are loved. Dita

Hi Jim,
We are really enjoying keeping tabs on what you are up too. Today is quiet at the Center as Richard, Mary, and Joe are doing a program up in Washington.
Continue to have a great time and we will look forward to more updates and photo's.

Hi there Jim:
Great hearing from you today and Grandad and I enjoyed hearing about your life in Santander. Sounds like you really have adjusted well to your new school and home. Nice that you have had a couple 'outings' and got to see some of the area around Santander.
Keep working on those photos for the web site....Everyone is dying to see you and where you live. I will have the "Aunties" up this week end to read your Blog. They keep calling and asking if we have heard from you.
Keep up the frequent blogs. We really miss you.
Love and hugs
Nana and Grandad
Mark And Barbie
Hi Jim,
Sounds like you are having a great time. Glad to hear it. Barb and I just pulled up Santadar on Google Earth. Looks like a great place. What is your street address and the address of your school? We want to get down to the detail of where you live!
Take Care
Love,
Mark (& Barbie)

Hi Jim-Good to hear from you -- from the pics your Mom sent before of you and your friends you look like you are having a great time. All is well in Medford, although we are all ready for spring. Heading to Minneapolis next week for a meeting and hoping there isn't any snow. I need warmth. Mark & I attended our monthly wine class on 4/11 and guess what? We were drinking Spanish wines! Learned lots about wine in Spain & the different denominación or grades of wine. Saw Santadar on the map and showed everyone where my nephew was living! Unfortunately Mark & I weren't too impressed with the spanish reds although we seemed to sample a lot & ended up with three bottles. Funny how that happens! It sounds like you are studying hard but enjoying yourself. We miss you and look forward to reading your blogs. Keep working on the computer and camera, we want to see your smiling face again. Love you lots & miss you even more. xoxoxox
