Check out that tiny Banana!!! Makes me like bananas again.


First day at Casa Guatemala. It rained 3 days straight, not
a break for even a minute. Yay Tropical Depression 16!

Casa Guatemala is low on money so no gas for cooking. Now
they cook outside over a fire on some cinder blocks.

A couple of big centipedes on the way to our house.

The freshly planted corn field. Its been a week and they are
already a couple inches high. Stay away birds!


So we didn't end up going on break yet... Instead we are now at the orphanage for a week or so, then we will get our break after working at least 22 days. A traveling englishman was at the hotel for the last week or so, he has been riding his motorcycle for the last 5 years or so. After riding all the way down Africa he started riding from the tip of South America 5 years ago. His goal is to make it to Alaska and catch a boat over to Russia so he can ride home. http://www.hebdenbridge.co.uk/news/news06/17.html He taught us the best lesson we've learned here. When someone gives you a time estimate it means it won't be anytime before that. For example, the lancha leaves at 5:30 really means don't bother showing up before 5:30 because there is no way it will leave before then. If you do you'll probably be the only one there.

We have been in Casa Guatemala for the last few days and will be spending the next week there. We have both spent a little time in the kitchen and Rebecca has been working with the girls activites and today with the fishing and basketball activity. I have been working in the fields scaring the birds away from the newly planted corn. Check out some of the recent pictures.
