Geymer's granddaughter in Peru

Email from daughter, Sue to (Chris)Tina and Bud Geymer about their granddaughter, Caitlyn Bailey, in Peru

We have SKYPEd with Cait each week so we aren't getting many emails. She spent last weekend in Lima with the two French girls who are also volunteering now. She has developed a bit of a cold as it is really quite cool and somewhat dreary at 10,000 feet even if it is summer. The pictures from the Lima weekend seem to be a lot sunnier. She is still finding the language issue a bigger problem than when she was in Spain because the only break she gets for on-going translation is when she calls her friends or family. She says by the end of the day her brain is really tired but she feels her Spanish is getting stronger - but still can be hard work. I've attached some photos from her facebook page. Hope you can open them.

Love Sue
