And then there is the transportation

 So I didn't get a picture of one of the buses, but here is a rather blurry one of the town map in the mayor's office. Praderss, the big town, is in yellow and to your left you can see my town, 4 Esquinas.
 In the back of the truck for the second time, with members of the cooperative and another credit cooperative on the way to meet with Project Concern International, the NGO that has worked with the cooperative from the beginning.
 The big truck (yes there are different trucks) that half the people ride on top.
and others ride underneath. The camion (versus the smaller camioneta) is usually saved for transporting the tons of crops, but in the off-season peole earn a few extra getting others back and forth. These are an experience!

  1. So good to catch up on everything you've been doing. Love the photos! Good thing there's baseball and soccer! Glad the seeds arrived. Hoping you will soon get the "hang" of the food and not be so sick. Like the "back of the truck" rides and hammock talks . . . more getting to know you! Keep the pace slow. Love yr comments on the Nica women with "strong hands." Let me know about the math confidence workshop . . . sounds like a good idea. Love you much. Mom

  2. Hey Meg Thanks for the many updates about what you have been up to. Looks like you are staying very busy and doing things you love - sports, cooking, organizing, gardening, etc. I hope your eating habits are finally adjusting. So much corn, so little time. Anne and Nicole had their first day of school today. A good day for both. Stay well. I love you. Love, Aunt Wendy
