Amanda, playing ball with the kids in the rain!















Oh yeah, I curiously forgot to mention that in our site all families make and burn a life-sized doll to signify the ending of the old year and the beginning of the new. Despite the dangerous mix of excessive alcohol and fire, nobody was burned (that we know of), and some of the more creative dolls were quite impressive. There was even one that was obviously made up to be like Fidel Castro!














Burn 2006, BURN!!!

Us and the Fam, in a waterfall.

The arrival of our free latrine supplies. Many people form the local community showed up to watch and help, which was great!

Not to be outdone by Amanda, I went out and found my own plague of insects to torment my skin with itchy bites! These are from these little no-see-um type fleas and, while annoying and abundant, their itch only lasts about an hour or so.

And finally...the office.
