The Way Things Connect

As mentioned in my two previous posts, I spent a chunk of time in Mexico City working on a movie. There is a volcano just outside Mexico City called Popocatepetl and we would see and work hard to remember how to pronounce it. When we drove to Puebla, we saw both Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl along the way. Iztaccihuatl always makes me giggle because Paddy and I referred to it as "It's a sea wattle" so that we would remember how to say it close to correctly.

The wacky connection is that in Harper's preschool they learn about other countries and a recent one was Mexico. The craft for one of those lessons was to build a volcano and what a lovely surprise that she built Popocatepetl!

It made me happy.
