Long Awaited, and Certainly overdue... The Picture post

This is my site and also the high school and the Salon Comunal. On the other side of that is the Rodeo Stadium. No we don't have paved roads, but that's life in the Campo!












These are Pineapple plants that are part of the plantations that come before my site and these are Banana plants and they are part of the processional of plantations that line the road before I get to my site.



This is the Futbol field at my site on a nice evening...



Just to let everyone know that the beard is gone as of this morning!!!


These are pictures of me and my dog Jet. When I found her she was starving and covered with fleas...














This is the picture of the spider that was waiting for me when I got back to my room from work. Billy-1, Spider-0.

This is Peepa, it is so good to drink and it was so hot that day!!!














This is a pic of me and the kids from Pueblo Nuevo. If you look closely you will see that I am
holding Yuca Root.















I know that it has been a while since I last posted, and that is for a number of reasons, which I will probably talk a little about once the situation has been resolved. Let's just say that I am going through a lot of changes at my site and in my life. I have learned a lot of things about myself and about others and in all things there is definitely a lesson to be learned in it. I am happy where I am with the things that are about to happen in my site and the things that are taking place in my life. I will try to be a lot more regular with this blog now that I have some things behind me and also please tell a friend!!!
