Tim Here

It is Thanksgiving weekend and we have a chicken cooking and pumpkin pie but no family! Such is the life of a missionary.

I travelled to Tecpan last weekend to see some ruins and noted the amazing amount of energy spent on acquiring wood for cooking. For the most part wood and propane are used. Wood primarily by the poor. So here are a few pictures of the action.

The horse was tired and the owner said it wanted to get home and would not stop for anyone so we had to run in front of it for some quick shots.

The boys were happy to stop and let me take a second picture. I gave them each 2 Q and you should have heard them laugh as they walked away all excited about spending their 30 cents.

The cart had a wooden wheel with some rubber nailed on to it.

More pictures to come on the next entry.

Time to cut the chicken and feast.

Happy Thanksgiving!
