The entry today will be on the use of wood products. The pictures will show pine needles used for the carpets, Palm pods ( not sure what to call them), Sawdust. etc. I took a drive up into the mountains with a friend and we found a small community. Oh my the homes were little more than what we would use for pig sheds in Canada. The streets were awful with no drainage and it appears obvious that during the rainy season this must be a terrible place to walk. I think 3 hours with a backhoe could make a world of difference to this community. I will post pictures of the place the next time we download the camera.
