Site Week

Hey all! Just got back from site and only have a few seconds to get the pics up. Will fill in details later, but are the basics. My host family is awesome. My host mom is in charge of a cooperative that has already funded ovens and silos. They've got more than 24 acres of corn and rice right now, they've also got beans and cows. It's a 6K walk to Praderas the nearest town and more than a 5 hr round trip to Jinotega city, but it's beautiful!
And there are two puppies!!
 And it's beautiful! Like "everything the light touches" Lion King beautiful!
 The view from my backyard! In the middle of a valley.
 Yours truely
 Scenery on the 6 k walk
 Some of the community women baking a cake in the cooking class they have with the oven
 The new bridge to get to Praderas. Used to have to hope and pray you had good botts, truck or horse
 The cooperative
 Me and the host mom! She rocks!



More scenery!!! Love you all!

  2. Hey Meg Great pictures. You are right about your new site being beautiful. Anne wants to know if you get to bring one of the puppies home with you. Love the analogy to Lion King. Stay well. I love you. Love, Aunt Wendy

  3. Meg,so glad to hear from you after your first site visit. The vistas are certainly beautiful. You look well and happy. It sounds like your host family will be great. If Wendy gets one dog, I'll take the other Ha! Ha! The trip is certainly challenging. Fortunately your Millinocket Grandma is not with us to experience this adventure, however, I am sure both Grandma's are guiding your way. Stay Safe, Happy and Healthy!! Love Uncle Frank and the Claremont Fahey's

  4. Hi Meg..
    I have enjoyed reading your blog on your adventures in Nica. Fortunately for me, your Mom stops by my office here at the Hannaford Career Center and interprets some of your writings. I especially enjoy the photos. Take care and stay safe.
