She's American but has lived in Chile many years now. So technology is a wonderful thing. <BR/><BR/>Come back and visit. Let us know how we can help you with that English teaching. <BR/><BR/>Why Nancy is so close with her readers is NOT a mystery. <BR/>She is a FANTASTIC LADY.

Nancy introduced me as her writer friend, and I was SO flattered! And Joel was entertaining, and the bookstore lovely, and his book was really good. Fond memories - <BR/><BR/>Guess I should be doing more writing at Starbucks!<BR/><BR/>Hope the Easter Bunny left lots o' chocolate for everyone, and none of those little icky peep things. :-) I had a great day with my friend, and a new teddy bear (dressed in a duck suit) to add to my collection.
