Graduation day last Friday. Mmmm....we ate well.

My house the first night I moved in. As I keep losing weight, my house gets bigger and bigger everyday. Now it's more organized I swear.

My Panama Verde kids making tomales. This was supposed to be our big money maker but they sold them all on credit so now we are broke again. Good luck actually getting the money.

Another shot of the mountains and agricultural region near Cerra Punta.

Making shelves for my new house. At one point I snapped my fiber glass hammer but unlike tossing it and buying another one (something I've done dozens of times in the states) I spent the next 3 hours whittling the handle and reattaching the head.

Emilsa (11), Sabina (11), and Diamentina (9) hanging out on my porch after school.

Daniel, Vidal, and David show me an animal they caught. I can't remember the name but it was really cute. It's kinda like a small possum or something. (Actually, it was a baby ant eater. Specifically an endangered oso hormigera. Check it out here.)

I guy wanted me to take a picture of his daughter. The hat nor the flashlight seemed to cheer her up. She was afraid of me.

Valle de Risco (Joe's site) at dawn.

Fellow volunteers on our Thanksgiving hike around Cerra Punta.

This aquaduct, suspended in the air by a small cable, serves the house below.

My host sisters Bedu and Juanita playing. Juanita on the left must have taken her brother's shoes.

The critters on my legs - infected bug bites and cuts.

Some boys playing and swimming.
