At home

 We thought we should have some pictures of the normal life at home. Here is a photo of Suzana's mom (on the right) and Suzana's aunt (on the left). They are so sweet.















Here is Amy hard at work washing clothes. First we put the clothes in a big tub and agitate them. Then we take them out and rinse them out here on the cement slab. Either that or scrub the dirt out of the clothes. Really, there is a lot of that. Even though it seems like she washes a ton of clothes every day, we never catch up, so we take some clothes into town to wash at the laundry service place. One other problem is that, if there is not sun out, the clothes just do not dry. Sometimes, when there is a day or two of rain, the clothes just hang on the line in the rain, waiting for the sun to come out. When the sun does come out, it is very strong, mostly because we are at 8500 ft and there is no pollution. Not sure what Audrey is doing. Playing with the water probably. She actually loves to wash the dishes out here, and will sit out there for an hour or two washing the dishes.














Here is Carlos, preparing the nails to hang the plastic on our roof. He is always trying to make our stay more comfortable and nice. The plastic on the ceiling made the room much warmer at night, without a draft.



















I found an old inner tube of a truck in town and cut it up into little pieces. Then we punctured the pieces with the nail and then nailed the pieces to the logs (or smaller branches) holding up the clay roof tiles. We decided that I would do the tall part of the ceiling and Carlos would do the shorter side, for obvious reasons.
