Catching up!

So I’m way behind by now. I’m now in my site for a visit for a few days but more on that later. There’s lots to catch up on first.

Here’s some more pictures from La Cumbre from some planting and transplanting we did in our last week there. Following that are some pictures of a party we had at my friend Ben’s house for us and the birthday of his host dad Rafael.

Sarah and Carlitos dancing. Carlitos was our dance instructor for the time in La Cumbre, mainly because he refused to not let us dance. He was my friend Jared´s host brother.
