Departures and Cleanup
Thursday, April 20 2006
Lunlunta, Argentina
8:43
Many people departing. Sitting in the cafeteria writing this – sitting in the hall felt funny, like a parade. Very little milk or yoburt for breakfast. A calmer sitting despite the goings-on in the hallway. While the course was in progress, was never able to complete an exercise, mostly due to dozing off. Did this morning. Tony has left + many others, most of the USA crowd are leaving at 16:30 to catch the 19:30 flight to Santiago. I'm on lunch today. Took a few pictures of the house. Will probably take a shower now before the house cleaning begins.
16:46
The largest wave just departed, two vans. Curt, Bill, Billy, RobR, DK, Martin, and Hernan went into town and had some beef, beers, wine, and good coffee. Lunch (risotto, leftover pasta, squash) cooked itself after the first hour, so spent a lot of time hanging out outside. Overcast but not cold. Igor did his thing to half a dozne guitars. The threads on the bridge for one of the GC Student model guitars were stripped. Sang a bit in the "Hall of Accomplishment". 30? people for lunch. Talked with Carolina for a bit about the Mendoza Guitar Circle and playing music (she had a rock band for a while). Pablo, Bill, DK, TomR, Igor among those that just left. Looks like Curt and I have all the same flights back to Seattle. He may go straight to Saturday rehearsal on arrival just to surprise everyone. I think I will go home and sleep. May take a nap now too, actually. There has been no cleanup work done today (in general – rooms were cleaned by occupants) [actually, AlejandroL was doing general cleaning in the background throughout the day]. Not sure when we will be vacating tomorrow.
23:24
Got just a little bit of packing to do. Leftover risotto and choclo (corn) for dinner. 16 there. Fairly quiet. Later, slideshow of old GC pics – what Curt has on his computer and a bunch Bill has assembled for the History project. Some good stuff. Sat outside for about 30 minutes. Chilly but OK. Sylvain and Barbara brought out some wine (local) and we sat and drank – me, Curt, Sylvain, Barbara, Ignacio, AlejandroM, Fabian, Billy, JorgeS, Hernan for a bit. Mariana ran by at one point to lock the gate, had a sip of wine. We came in shortly after that.
