Lisa Flies into the Sunset (alas, without me for 3 months)

Lisa arrived in Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico last Friday afternoon to a warm host family and a hot meal, thank God. She spent the weekend on two excursions - one to Mexico City and some ruins, another to nearby natural springs - with her classmates at the Cuahnahuac Language Institute. She started classes Monday, and reports that the atmosphere and substance are comfortable and challenging, respectively. We've communicated thus far through strands of text-messages, emails, phone calls, and letters - sounds like a lot, but feels like too little. Lisa intends to tell more once she starts posting.
