Directions to my neighborhood. Apr 25, 2005

Following you will find directions to my home. My wife wrote them up so they are in Spanish, which I think is better. When you arrive, please come to my home. Once everyone is here we will relocate to the neighborhood's 'salon comunal'. I look forward to seeing you all. If you have any questions please feel free to call or email me.
