A day in the nature, picnic in a park!! Música, fun, amigos! Guauuu!! :-)

Great picnic at Black Hill Regional Park in Maryland.

After the great day in Shenandoah, with just want to come back to the nature!!

Black Hill is a beautiful park with a lot of green, a wonderful lake with boats, wild animals, and place for picnic and to play.

Directions: From the Beltway: take 270 North, exit 18 and follow the signs. It's less than 30 minutes away from the Beltway. When you are in the park, just follow the signs. If you don't find us, please call Evelyn: 301-326-3270.

How to get there: If you don't have a car, ask here for a ride. If you have space in your car, you can offer it. This system worked perfectly well at our trip to Shenandoah. We suggest you to give automatically to the driver $4 for the gas.

Fun, sport , songs, picnic, new friends, soccer, of course, hike, of course, boats! and a lot of conversation in Spanish!

Bring your lunch, music instruments, ball... and a lot of fun!

Esta es la idea, plan a lo latino (no muy exacto :-):
1pm: almuerzo
luego: canciones y juegos
3 pm: caminata por la montaña o paseo en botes por el lago
4:30 pm: canciones y fútbol

- We ask for a donation of $3 to support the children in Casa del Niño Maria, in Villa Ballester (my hometown), Buenos Aires, Argentina. They live in a shanty town. At this house they are able to have their daily meals, they get support with their school assignments and a lot of psychological contention from professionals and volunteers. Muchas gracias! Enrique
