Lis has recovered enough to travel, so the traveling duo left yesterday, headed for St. Paul Minnesota. It was really a treat getting to know Andy and Lis--what a gift!! We still shake our heads in disbelief about the mysterious powers of the universe that allowed our paths to cross. Rob has searched for the meaning in this, and has decided that the lesson to be learned is, "eat more trail mix." Either that, or "be nice to everyone." As for me, I have learned that it is indeed possible to choose your relatives. In fact, I am claiming Andy as MY first cousin since A) I found him, and B)because I didn't have any cousins previously, Andy is my FIRST cousin.

I just got off the phone with Andy and he told me of your blog. Terrific to read your version of your meeting. Having made the connection over the phone with Andy - he'd told me of meeting a Natalie angel in the grocery store.
The next day when we spoke and I asked if the doctor and his wife had been to seen Lis and he said, "Hey, we might be connected, the doctor's name is Robert Fuller" the light bulb went off in my head and I said to Andy, "Did you say his wife is Natalie?" Bingo, connection and yes, you truly ARE his FIRST cousin! And our world is a mysterious place with, it seems, plans of which we are completely unaware.
Thanks to your entire family for being the kind, generous souls that you are. I know Lis would have healed no matter what, but your hospitality helped it to happen in the best way possible. We hope the day comes in the not too far distant future when you venture to Washington State and come visit us on Whidbey. And we hope you continue to enjoy your time in Ecuador.
