Vivimos Juntos en un Submarino Amarillo...
Name these tunes...
Campos de Frutillas para Siempre
Todo que Necesita es Amor
Quiero Para Tener su Mano
Jardin de Pulpo
WHY am I bringing up all these Beatle's tunes? Because Levi and I just went to see the biggest personal collection of Beatle's memorabilia in the world-over 5500 pieces!!! The whole collection is owned by an Argentine who made it into the Guiness Book in the late 90s, along with other wacky collectors of such things as airsick bags, Do Not Disturb signs, keyrings, refirigerator magnest and things related to Attila the Hun.
At this show, however, there were tons of records and signed ticket stubs and photos, but there were also some other interesting collectibles. Many pins and album covers dating back to the Quarrymen days, along with solo carreer materials from John, Paul and Ringo. There were also dolls, patches, games (Flip Your Wig being my personal favorite), plates, socks, t-shirts, ashtrays... You name it and they stuck their faces on it. They even had Fab 4 minute calling cards! He also has life-size statues of the fab four in their Sgt. Pepper uniforms!
But the best, most unusual piece de resistance (should be said with French accent) was a condom that came in a box with a bunch of lyrics from a John Lennon song and the wrapper promoted the specialness of the occasion that John and Yoko hoped you and a loved one were going to share. Hilarious!

Hi Alexis- It sounds like you are having a great time...and not too interested in coming home! Any ideas about summer and FALL? thinking about coming back to MVWSD? Please let me know as we are talking about staffing now.
Also, news from my family...Alex has decided to take a job in Manhattan so we are all moving to the big apple in June. Weve never lived in New York so it will be quite an adventure!
Castro will have a new principal (everyone is cheering - I know the truth!) so it will be new and exciting.
And one more note - Ill be renting our house (3 bedroom) in Belmont. Its small, but in a nice neighborhood and has a view (great for entertaining)
Please email and let me know what your plans are. take care, CArla
