Dear Frans: I reappear... Please do not think I am ungrateful, I have been thinking in writing you and actualize you about the sundial, but as always I had many problems with the internet and at the same time a lot of work (including the sundial) then I decide to forget for a while the internet!
I told you several times here is such a big problem too built something special because the workers; they are good but very irregular. Finally the sundial is finished, well, almost... because we decided at the end to include some marks for half hours, but we are still waiting the workers come back to work ( some day) The sundial looks very nice, a little more rustic that we wanted, but I think when the sourroundings be ready (the garden) it will look still better. All the plants will be from this region; cactus and similars... I have been every day at the sundial, on saturday my friend José and I cleaned it, fortunately was al little cloudy because the temperature there was 43°C at noon. I used to be white! and my hands looks to bad, but I feel happy! Tomorrow it will be the first "presentation" to the association, but not food and dirnks! only an explanation of how this novelty "does" Many people asked about what are we doing and it seems to me the sundial has good acceptance and expectation. Tomorrow I will finish the photo film to develope it and send you more pictures. I wanted to get a digital camera but I had no time. The leaflet we prepared to describe the sundial functioning looks very nice and I think has enough information. I would like to send you one, but do you know someone who speaks Spanish? The information in nothing new for you, but only for you to see it. We have almost 360 sunny days a year in Torreón, and can you beleive is totally cloudy today? Please! I need tomorrow be sunny too explain the sundial! I have not forget all your help, and a new sundial here in a place where nobody has an idea about this topic is a dream made a real... Many greetings and I will write you soon... Martha -
