A few Saturdays ago I had the opportunity to go to La Tigra again, a National Cloud Forest. It’s absolutely beautiful there and just so great to get out of the city and into nature for a bit.



A lot of the women in our community make their living by selling tortillas, breads, and some other food. Here’s a picture of Lesli (center) and her sister. They used to stop by my office about once per week selling bread. But since Christmas they’ve been coming by about 3 days a week!



Although I don’t always want the bread, I try to collaborate and buy bread. But they’re good businesswomen and can sure pressure you into it. Whenever I say “I don’t have money” they just say “pay me later” because they know they’ll see me again. Or if I say “not today” they just stare at me with this puppy dog face like “I can’t believe you’re not buying my bread.”

Liliam, one of my co-workers, had a baby shower a few weeks ago, and this past Saturday I went to her house and visited to meet the new baby boy- Jhessé Alexander. The pictures are Liliam and her parents, me and Sandra- a teacher from the elementary school, and the new baby boy!
