Jarnah & Darren's arrival

David met Jarnah Montersino at the Baha'i World Center a few years ago and she's been travelling in Central America recently and ended up here. She's Australian but has been away from home for some time (so her Aussie accent is not as strong as it would have been, and we can understand her English perfectly).
Welcome, Jarnah, to the McKinney household!
She's been staying with us for a couple of days, but went down early this morning to visit the Ighanis in Progreso. (We hear that the whole Ighani clan is here for the holidays, so we hope we'll get to see them before they spread out across the world again.)
Here's Jarnah relating some of her adventures after a batch of Julie's pancakes:
Then, yesterday, Darren arrived from Texas. (See previous blog references to Darren, who was close to David and Gianni in Florida last year.) He'll be here for more than a month, so you'll probably see more on that on the blog.
Below, "JJ" was in heaven when Jarnah gave her a "foot" rub...They're all having a great time hanging out, and the weather's been terrific. Both Darren and Jarnah went to the Ighani's place today. D & G had to go back to work. (Actually, Dee was "working", while chatting, anyway--the laptop nearby in case of any attacks on the company's security.)
